My little old man will be 17 years old in April. That's the equivalent of 84 in human years. He'd been "off" lately: manic in his begging but picky about his food and losing weight, vomiting, confused and worried about being alone.
But since we started on the meds last month, he's gained 8 oz., he's eating more normally and I've found fewer wet surprises on the carpet. The bloodwork proves it: it's working!
This medication can lose efficacy after two years. But then he'll be 19, and 19 to a cat is 92 to a human. That's as much as I have any right to hope for.
I am feeling so grateful right now.
So glad to hear he's improving!
ReplyDeleteThat is such great news! My thyroid is messed up and I take medicine for mine. It makes me feel so much better. I am glad he is doing better!
ReplyDeleteReady for some baseball? We haven't had any luck finding a way to watch yet, but still trying.
Wonderful news about Reynaldo!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a thyroid anymore, it dissolved after radiation treatments as a baby.
If I don't take thyroid medicine I will die (didn't mean to be gloomy).
How very awesome!!
