Beau's vet appointment...not good news..Updated again--better news!

[Glacier]

Beau is hyperthyroid! My vet just called to confirm his test results. A normal result is around 35. Beau's t4 level is at 51!

I know it's still not great news. He's still ancient and sick, but I can treat this--just a pill every day! I'm so happy that I can do something! That he has a chance to get better! I will be picking up his medication later today. He'll go back in a couple weeks for a progress exam.

Thank you all so much for all your support! Beau and I both appreciate it very much!

I am SO glad it is something treatable! Like you said, of course, he is still old, but hey! this could help him have so much more time with you than you thought. Hugs to Beau!

That's great news that you can help him with one pill a day.Prayers still coming Beau's way for a longer life filled with love with you.

So happy to hear this news! Now Beau, be a good boy, and take your medicine when Meowmie gives it to you. No spitting it back out at her. It is to help you feel better!

What great news!

Sorry I'm so late with this post, best wishes goes out to Beau, and you for being a great cat-mom!

Fluffy, our senior is also going through pretty much the same problem, and let me tell you, a month after his sub-q's started, he is back to his same ole self!
He even has started to put a few ounces back on (we are working up to a full pound!) Hopefully you will notice a quick turn a round in Beau, from what I have been told, they can live for many years this way

All fingers & paws are crossed over here for you! Get well Beau!

Ya hoo!!! Some good news for dear, sweet Beau and his loving meowmie. I'm glad your new, young vet kept him in her thoughts. Give that sweet boy a big, gentle hug!!

Finnigan hopes Beau will take his pill and get well, he doesn't like to see his Canadian cousin so ill.
