HT really isn't a big issue. My cat Blacky in California has HT and has been on meds for a few years now. For the longest time I urged my parents to test him for HT as he was losing weight and is fairly old, around 15. Finally they tested him and sure enough he had HT. They ran the test and after the meds he immediately gained back 5 pounds! They take him in to run his blood every 6 months or so. A few months ago he did get very sick though. He almost died, parents thought maybe a dog got aholdof him. But they took him to the vet a week later just to be sure and he needed his meds adjusted. He almost died. But he didn't and after adjusting the meds is a healthy boy again.


Cataholic is vomiting a sign of HT? Houdini vomits ALL THE TIME! You might remember me posting in Cat Health about this. You would think working at a vet clinic for years I would know this. I mean she vomits almost every day and I am so tired of cleaning it up, as well as tired of wondering how this must hurt her tummy when she does it. It may just be because she eats too fast. Actually since switching to CSFTCLS, her vomiting has greatly reduced. Sometimes it's just fur balls but sometimes not. It's just chewed up food but she is also a tad skinnier than I would like, and also has heart problems so I think I will go get her tested when I take everyone in for their yearlies and microchips.

Edit: So everyone knows Houdini has already been to the vet several times for this but HT was never mentioned. I don't know how I can get her to stop eating so fast, which is what I really think it causing this. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also Debbie, can you try a Holistic approach to try and calm Peanut before you take him to the vet? Like Bach remedy or something? Here where I live we have a fantastic all natural vet clinic and they come in handy sometimes.
