Cat Thyroid Medication

My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyrodism 4 weeks ago. She was put on 1.0ml of methimasole twice a day. After 3 weeks i took her for blood test. Her thyroid level dropped from 9.0 to 4.1 and blood cell count along with kidney function were within the healthy range. My vet wants to see my cat's thyroid in the 1-2.0 range and increased her dose to 1.25ml twice a day. I worry about future side effects of methimasole. Will surgery be the best option, given she is healthy otherwise and we have 2 cats?

My 17 yr old cat has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. she was started on Methimazole chew treats and now refuses to eat them. I switched to the twist a dose ear Methimazole but if I give that to her daily like the vet suggested, all she does is sleep day and night. It seems to knock her out right after I apply it to her ear. then she starts vomiting her food. I am beginning to think we would be better off going with the radioactive iodine thing. what do you think?

My 14 year old Male cat is diagnosed hyperthyroid. We've been treating him with medication, and our vet raised the dose, but he's started shedding excessively again. He has an appointment to check his T4 levels in 2 weeks. What are our options?

I have changed vets recently. The new vet recommended a blood test for my cat. The result of the thyroid test was 4.9. A free T4 was done as a follow up to the thyroid testing done last week,, and that was a little bit elevated., The vet said the numbers are suggestive of hyperthyroidism. She said a symptom would be weight gain. My cat now weighs about 13 lbs and she is a senior cat. There is nothing different in her behavior. The vet wants to put my cat on medication now. What is your advic

My cat has been prescribed 2.5 mg of Felimazole twice daily for hyperthyroidism. How long does the Felimazole stay active in the cat’s bloodstream? The reason for the question is that when I need to be away from, I have a cat sitter that comes in once a day to tend to the cat. Should she double the dose (5 mg), or stay with a single 2.5 mg pill?

My 12 year old cat has hyperthyroidism. He was diagnosed 6 months ago. We treated him with Methimazole for a month and he improved. Shortly after his refill (one month) he started to vomit after every dose. We've tried the y/d food and his levels were still high. I have to decide about radioactive iodine, and I would love an expert opinion. I have more detail, just can't fit it here.

HI, My 13yr old female cat is on Transdermal Methimazole, 5mg, 2x day, by syringe. However, my cat won't let me near her to apply this to her ear!!! I now have broken the trust

My 11 y/o male cat is taking 12.5 mg of Felimazole a day and now is lethargic, no appetite, but drinks water... Too high of dose possibly?? He seemed fine until a few days ago..

I have 3 cats. One has hyperthyroidism and is on food for it from the vet. I'm having a hard time keeping them out of each others food. I'd like to know if it's ok for me to just switch to the thyroid food and feed it to all 3 or will it have adverse affects on the 2 cats that do not have hyperthyroidism?

Where do I get cat flavored meds?

We have a cat with a thyroid condition. He has to have medicine 2x a day but it is tough to hold him to give him the medicine. We have been giving it to him once a day by mouth but the Vet said that's not enough. He said that we could try radiation on him. We heard of a place in Wakefeild, Ma. that does this. Do you have any information on this place?

Hello! Regarding homemade diet for my 15 y/o hyperthyroid and early CKD cat-- 1) Due to hyperthyroidism, is it ok to leave out iodine salt in the recipe? The methimazole keeps the TT4 at around 1.7. 2) Is it true that dark meat has lower phosphorous levels and is a better protein choice than say ground beef? Thank you!
