I would be very careful about checking the credentials for any "homeopathic" vet you find. No one can "reverse" kidney damage, unlike the liver, the kidney cannot repair itself.

I'm going to talk to my vet tomorrow. I take homeopathic vets with a grain of salt. I question her ability to reverse the hyperthyroidism.
Sandie,
I know that her days are numbered. I just want her to be happy and comfortable. I rescued her 2 years ago from the CT Humane Society, a kill shelter. She was 15 years old at the time and on death row, waiting euthaniasia because she had been there for a long time and was being passed by. So I figure the amount of time she has with me is going to be her best years ever!!!
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

Sydney has been on hyperthyroidism medicine for over a year and a half. We actually had to up her dosage to one whole pill twice a day - in order to get her levels under control. I have been taking her in monthly for blood tests to check her kidney function and her levels. Just yesterday I brought her in and her levels were still within the normal range. My vet seemed to indicate that if your cat already has a pre-existing kidney issue, then yes - this medication can damange the kidney's beyond repair. However, if your cat has normal functioing kidneys, then they can live on the medication well past 6 months. Hope this helps some.
Sincerely,
Kat
Rest in Peace Baby, Hercules, and Sydney - If love could have saved you, you both would have lived forever!
