Perfect diagnosis! She is now on meds for thyroid but we can all deal with that. The really strange coincidence was a gentleman brought in an orange furrball while we were there, same thing. He had been losing weight and the guy wanted to get him checked, he was afraid he was going to lose him right then and there. Exact same diagnosis! So it was a happy day for all of us. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Once again I say PTers are the best group of people on the planet!

Glad to hear it was only the thyroid. Cats usually respond well to the meds and are around for a long while. Glad that Bouncer got good news from the vet! Thanks for the update

I'm so glad to hear that Bouncer was able to be diagnosed easily and hopefully she'll continue to do well on the thyroid medicine.

Not so good...she has lost a lot of ground. She doesn't really seem to be suffering, no pain or anything like that, but she can't get around real well, and is unable to get into the litterbox at all. We are taking her to the vet tonite and I have a bad feeling that she won't be coming back home with us. We have already decided that if they think it is best to let her go, then so be it...but life is really stinky right now...

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope the vet has some promising news. A candle for Bouncer: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10449961

That has to be one of the saddest things that we have to deal with when Our Cats get older and waeker , and thats when its time to say goodbye.
We want Our Friends to stay furrever , but thats not possible.
We are praying for Bouncer and Family and we know that they will make the right choice when the time comes

Oh no. I'm so sorry. I hope the vet has something they can try. 14 just seems much too young.

They did another round of blood work. The thyroid numbers aren't in yet but everything else is fine. The vet thinks that maybe it is too high a dosage of thyroid med and they are making her numbers for that go too far the wrong way. So we wait on the results for that for a day or so. Until then, they sent us home with some high calorie paste stuff to give her a few times a day and some super duper high calorie kick butt food to tempt her with to atleast get something into her system. We also found out that as cats age some of them have trouble producing tears. Instead of nice clear watery tears they produce this horribly yucky mucus-ey stuff which, when it runs out of their eyes, can cause a minor infection near the corner of the eye. So...we have artificial tears to start putting in as well as an antibiotic ointment to put on the infected area.....but she is still kicking! I have never been so happy to be so wrong!
