Well, she's put me thru hepatitus, hypertension, & now Hyperthyroidism!
And I didn't even raise her from kittenhood - she's inherited from
when my mom passed away!

But .... she "owns" me hook-line-and sinker even though she's put me
thru some very 'trying', confusing & scarey times.

My new dx with her shows her T4 = 5.8 (ranges 1.0-5.0)
She has some other #'s that are not much out of the ranges, but she is
someone symptomatic & since she's gone thru so much & I'm finally
learning about her blood tests, I feel I don't want to wait until her #
ranges increase.

I'm looking for feedback & others experiences.  I will be picking up
her Methimazole (Tapazole) on Monday.  I did also look up the side
affects of this med (until it's properly regulated for her).
Thanx
Joan

My late cat, Cory, who died at the age of 18 was hyper-t for the last 2 years
of his life, combined with chronic renal failure.  The hyper -t actually helped
his CRF, as it often does.  He tolerated tapazole very well and his symptoms of
diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss disappeared.  He was always on a fairly low
dose of tapazole so he didn't have any side effects.  He looked really good,
put on weight, his fur was shiny.  I hope Shana tolerates it well also.  How is
her vision, by the way?
