Thyro-tabs for cats can easily and cheaply fix a thyroid chemical problem.
However, the root cause of ostensible thyroid imbalance is often much more
serious.

Valium does not seem to me to be a really good idea until all the other
root causes of the behavioral change are completely discarded, including
all of the carcinomas which can cause localized internal pain.
There could just have been a very negative interaction between Phantom and
one of the other cats during the night which you did not see. If so, time
will work the relationship out.
We are hoping the best for Phantom and his cat buddies.

the valum would be used to calm the situation till it can be set in place
