Well we got the T4 results back and Callie is WAY above the normal range for her thyroid = she's got hyperthyroidism. The clinic accidentally tested Shadow too and so is she!!

The vet gave me Methimazole/Tapazole 5 mg to give each of my girls every 24 hrs; a 1/2 tablet. They are getting rechecked in two weeks with a blood panel to make sure the medication is working.

I honestly hope this explains Callie's murmur. If it is, it is easily treated with medications and I may decide to treat her in other ways later. I figure the medication works for now and is inexpensive.

The only downside with the medication is that they will think of me as the person who shoves something down their throats 1x/day. I was hoping to con my husband into treating them when he comes home. They already don't like him so him medicating them won't be much worse . Oh well.

Thank you all for your prayers. I am so happy that her murmur is most likely caused by hyperthyroidism than from heart disease. Thank you PT!
