Gatsby has hyperthyroidism. Good update! #31

[Prairie Purrs]

Waiting to hear how Gatsby is doing. Hope all is well. Please update us when you know something. You guys are still in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you for the good wishes!

Gatsby is doing well. He takes his meds like a champ. He suddenly decided that he no longer liked the food he'd been eating, which is a problem because he's on a prescription diet due to his UT issues. Of course the only thing he really likes now is something I can only get by mail order. But at least there's something that he'll eat, so I'm hoping he'll regain some weight.

He's due for a recheck in the next week or so, and that will let us know how his thyroid levels are doing.

Otherwise, he's his usual sweet self and spends as much time as possible in my lap.

Good wishes and prayers to Gatsby and you..

Gatsby had a recheck of his thyroid levels today, and they're within normal range! And his weight is up from 8.8 pounds to 9.5. He'll continue on the meds, which he's tolerating well so far, but I'm going to be setting money aside for the radioactive iodine procedure.

I'm really happy with my sweet boy's progress. Thanks to all who have sent healing wishes his way!
