Good news/Bad news
Originally uploaded by fbruehl
Snoopy's bloodwork came back showing that her thyroid levels are still high, indicating the alternative treatment is not working. But the Resthyro has helped her become much more calm and social, so we will continue using it.
Other good news is that the compounding pharmacy can make a flavored liquid medicine, which should make it easier to dose her than the bitter pills. I asked the vet for the smallest possible amount in order to give it a trial.
If the liquid won't work, we will go with the transdermal. That is really a chore that I'd like to avoid -- both for me as well as for the cat.
This morning Snoopy was playiing with a ball filled with catnip just like a young kitten. She has not done that in years.
In other good news she had gained an ounce or so since the last visit to the vet. The thyroid disease causes weight loss, so the gain even small was a good thing.
Glass is half full here :)
