I took Kenzie to the vet again today (Friday). They did exactly the same
things they did on Wednesday: examined her, gave her an antibiotic
injection, and gave her 200cc of subcutaneous fluids.

TED said one of the common side effects of Tapazole is nausea and
vomiting. So she told me to take Kenzie off the Tapazole for several
days, and then start her at a lower dose, and then increase the dose.

She said most cats usually get over the nausea and vomiting.

If Kenzie doesn't, the only option is to use radioactive iodine, to
treat her hyperthyroidism. It's very expensive: the last info they had
was from 2007, and back then it cost $1200. Ouch!

I don't really have any choice in the matter, of course. And I wouldn't
have to give Kenzie a pill 2x a day, for the rest of her life.

I just want Kenzie to be healthy again

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

We all want Kenzie to be healthy again but all we can do is send our
purrs and best wishes.

when the vet thought this might be Tiger's problem, we discussed this
procedure, unfortunately it is simply not possible for tiger, he has such
horrid seperation issues it wuld probably kill him, he refused to eat for 3
days when we boarded them once, so if he can't take the meds when it is time
i am not sure what will happen, lets hope starting on the lower dose might
be the best thing for her, good luck , Lee

You might be surprised at what you can do. I never thought I'd be able to
give Stinky subQ, but I saw that it really helped him, and then I was
determined. I think it gets much easier if you can see that it's really
doing her good.

Of course you do. Purring for her to feel better and get over her nausea.

Poor Kenzie and poor you for having to deal with all this. Purrayers that
everything will be okay. I know how much you love your sweet Kenzie.
Mosey sends his mightiest purrs to her too. Be well sweet Kenzie.
You are so loved by so many. Calming purrs sent to you too Gandalf.
Love
Kyla

Poor baby! For what it's worth, we used the iodine treatement for Tiger
many years ago and it worked wonderfully. It was hard to be away from
her, since you have to leave them at the facility for several days, but
not another peep out of that nasty thyroid.

We're sending anti-nausea and calming purrs y'alls way..
