Marlo getting to be normal
For a cat anyway. We took her to the vet to check on her hyperthyroid
condition and she's in the normal range so the dosage she's getting must be about right. She's even gained af few ounces (that;s probably a few pebbles in British weights) and is about 7.5 lbs. Mom is a bit worried about her, mostly because she thought Marlo was maybe 8 or 9 and she's actually 13. Instead of a playful kitten, she has a less playfull senior. Marlo's still eating pretty much non-stop, her regular 2 meals a day (with compounded medication), plus 2nd breakfast, pre-lunch, pre-dinner, and post-dinner. Basically, she eats her own meals as well as whatever we're having. We're allowed to keep feeding her well until she gains a bit more weight but then we have to cut back. That mgiht not be too hard if she becomes less ravenous, but there's been no sign of that happening. |
