    Sorry to hear Bouncer is losing alot of weight. Hopefully it's just an overactive thyroid (common in older cats) and it's easily treateable with daily medication. Keep us posted, our thoughts are with you two.

    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...

    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
