Vita could use some PT prayers; UPDATE # 14

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope she'll feel better soon and will also be able to gain some weight back. Starr says that he can give her some of his extra pounds.

Thanks Star -- I've already suggest that to Chestnut and Crystal, here, lol!

Awe... poor Vita! I'll be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

Got the lab results yesterday (they were supposed to be in on Sunday with me getting a phone call Monday, but it took a bit longer).

Anyway, Vita is now on Tapazole for her thyroid. this worries me no end. I KNOW so many on here have had cats take the medicine and control the condition for years. But that has not been my experience. Amber died 8 months after diagnosis, and Ruffles at 10 months after.

Vita was tested for thyroid issues 8 months back, and all was fine. So it comes on rapidly, I guess.

Now she is getting antibiotics, thyroid meds and ear drops, so she is less than pleased when she sees me approaching her.

Vita has lived with me 12 years; at the time I adopted her from the shelter, my vet "guessed" her age as "at least a year." She had not been spayed at that time, of course I got her spayed. So she is at least 13 now.

Oh goodness, I'm sorry, but at least you know for sure what you're dealing with. My Yodie is the same way as Vita, especially when it comes to administering ear drops. She's as fast as greased lightning and I have to be wilier than she in order to catch her. The ear drops are finished now but if she sees me coming, she bolts. Good luck w/this and I do hope that her thyroid straightens out, too, and that you have many, many happy years together yet.

Sandie!! Will add Vita to the candles that I will be lighting shortly.....Norton has been on Tapazole for several years now, and we have titrated his dose, and now he gets a quarter of a tab in the am and an EIGHTH in the pm!!! So far, this is holding his T4 WNL. Prayers for the same for your pretty girl!!!
