A friend of mine consulted a Homeopathic Veterinarian about her cat Pugsley's hyperthyroid medicine, Mathimazole. It's a transdermal cream that is rubbed into the ear.

The vet told her that while the medicine IS helping his hyperthyroidism, it is killing his kidneys and will die of kidney failure within 6 months.

It's the same medicine that my 16 year old Murphy is on!!! Murphy has an appointment for a CBC at the vet on Friday. I will be asking him about weaning or cutting back on the dose for Murphy. I'm in between a rock and a hard place. Do I take her off and have her die of the hyperthyroidism or keep giving her the cream and have her die of kidney failure???

She is so thin (5.3 lbs), I just want to keep her happy and comfortable. Any suggestions?? The homeopathic vet told my friend she can reverse the damage that was done by the Mathimazole.
