Moby - Hyperthyroidism
The results are back. His level is down to 3.1 from 3.29
I can't remember exactly how much he has gained but the weigh in from then and the weigh in from today showed that he gained weight. I lost the sheet I was using to record his weights back then. He's at 948 grams now.
We might start getting his medicine compounded. We're waiting for an estimate.

We have a cat that was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and we use the gel that goes in the ear. My vet has it sent to me directly from the pharmacy. I only pay $11 and that includes delivering it to my door. I don't have the name of the company in front of me but if you are interested, I will get it for you. They have online service, that's how I pay the bill.

Seemed an update was in order with the recent talk of hyperthyroidism.
The tapazole is now being compounded and given orally. There haven't been any re-tests for T4 levels.
His weight has increased and stabilized in the 990's (grams).
I found his initial weight chart...but it's at home and not with me! How inconvienent.

Took Moby to the vet today.
He had started drooling a little. He had been losing weight and old symptoms were more prominant.
My vet put him under anesthesia to take a good look at the teeth and do any neccessary work on them. From what my mother told me, he had some "spurs" in his teeth. I'm not sure what that means. I guess Dr. K corrected what was wrong. I'll have to find out more information from her later. Hopefully he doesn't have maloclussion on top of everything.
She also got bloodwork from him. Thyroid levels have shot up to over 6 (My mom said she thought it was like 6.3 but didn't write the exact # down). Dosage was increased to .50 CC
Another problem we've been having is that his lower incisors grow very fast and we end up having them cut down because they're so dangerously long. Not sure how to get that problem to stop, cardboard doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Poor Mobes. He always gives me this pathetic look. I want to make his problems go away!
