Question...is "hyper-t hyper thyroid"??? It is what I suspected with my Baby
Ruben...but the vet says "cats don't get that"....I tried to argue the point,
but she wouldn't listen...

Subject: [Felvtalk] ot-next problem
My cat Shaft has lost nearly half his body weight. Everyone here has been so
sick I just didn't realize it until a few weeks ago (a few days before I was
leaving for a week's vacation). I got him into the vet suspecting hyper-t as
soon as I got back. That's what it was. The vet detected a heart murmer as
well. He is an estimated 18 years old. He had a fever and the vet put him on
some amoxy for that, as well as the tapazole, of course.
Problem. He now hides and I have to chase him around to get any med.s down
him. I've given up on everything except the tapazole and he still hides.
Should I stress him out with the chase down? Crate him for a while? He
doesn't seem to be gaining ANY weight, and I have an appt. with vet again on
Monday. We were supposed to wait a month, but he's getting worse, not better.
Does anyone have the link to join the hyper-t group or any other advice? I
am quickly losing my mind. la la la la.
