Hello again, thank you for your kind word and advice. Bella is 16 years old, so she is an old girl, and you are right that old age could be part of the problem. But it is difficult for me to understand, how and why she would age so quickly, after she began treatment with Felimazole. But I know that time is on a different scale with a kitty. And I have never seen old age before, she is my 4th cat and the other ones were clearly very ill (heart, cancer, kidneys) when I had to say goodbye. This is so difficult because it is hard to tell which is which, if you know what I mean. She has a very thick fur, so one cannot actually see bones, but her spine feels sharp underneath, and because she is not moving (I guess) the muscle around her back and hind legs is clearly diminished, and the feels more "dry" and bony all over. But the penicillin cure was really hard on her, and it seems to be impossible to make her gain the weight she lost from the diarrhea (which the new vet also didn't have any idea how to stop). Do any of you know whether it would be OK to give her a about 7 ml. mixture of eggyolk, a little cream and lukewarm water on a daily basis? Just to get her to eat extra calories? Or what can I give her which is fattening but not harmful? She has lost interest in all sorts of things that used to be goodies, like cod roe, tuna, little slices of meat from my lunch. Whenever I offer her these old favourites, she now makes a vomiting movement.
The main problem still seems to be the Felimazole in the sense that she seems to feel sick when she gets the dose she is supposed to have, but if I try to lower the dose she seems to get fever and the ... I don't know the word... membranes? of the eyes will appear. When do people that have hyperthyroidism feel the most lousy, do anyone know?
As for tomorrows appointment with the vet, I am thinking that I can always go there without Bella and pay the consultation fee, to be fair.
I would love to hear from Randi! Are you there, Randi??? Help!Have you changed you phone number??
Lots of love for now!
Sus and Bella
