moral question on topic
There is also a topical med. for hyperthyroidism. I had a cat with the
disease that I treated for two years with this method------applied to inner ear. It too came from a compound phamacist. |

moral question on topic
thank you for your information, and in general I agree, if its a week long
thing or if I can get liquids I have no trouble with medicating, you just have no idea with this one, this isn't regular fighting, puking up the pill, this is full blown hysterics, including but not limited to , paw sweating, shivering to the point you think he is having a seizure, screaming, clawing biting, and panting/high heart rate that concerned the vet once when she pilled him. I would do anything within his tolerance levels to keep him happy and alive, he is a true joy to me, and when I see how far he has come I am proud of DH, Tiger and me, the best option so far appears to be that topical stuff for his ears, again, thanks hopitus wrote in message ...

Please consider oral (or otherwise, ear?) meds for your cat to enable him to stay with you longer. With enormous self-control I assert that if being "on pills" was a downer to one's quality of life, I shoulda done myself in a long time ago; the many "pills" I take are keeping me alive. Not that anyone needs to hear this; I just want you o rethink that conclusion. OTOH I have "pilled" for years a high-strung "meezer" cat - yes, Oliver - it was neither easy nor pleasant but it kept him alive,and he got used to it. Another person helping is good. Here is another idea: one of the ways we radiation workers learn to avoid overexposure to radiation is "distance". If you scheduled your cat for the surgery (in hoomins "surgery" means cutting out the thyroid gland, "surgery" = and there is no radiation involved. Now, in animals, maybe they use the alternative method hoomins have for overactive thyroid - a radiation "pill" which is so strong it "kills" the gland, rendering it inoperative. Both methods necessitate patient taking "thyroid pills" (Synthroid brand name) for the rest of their life. Matt is right....cat is radioactive for a limited time if they use the "pill surgery" BUT your vet may permit - to remove himelf from liability, hopefully - you to sign some form of *waiver* so you could take your cat home to recover *right after awakening* and all you would have to do would be keep him somewhere (small room, porch?) he would be away from all living creatures, including you, till the pill's influence is gone. BTW what a dose would be to kill a cat's thyroid would LOL not kill you much less have much real danger. I'd do it if I had to but all I want to do is inform you here of possibilities. Being on pills has actually improved my quality of life, LOL...I'm not dead. |
