Marlo is hyperthyroid
She's been living with mom for the last few months and has been on a
diet (since she was overweight).. But for the last two months or so, we knew she had dropped a lot of weight so we've pretty much been feeding her everything she wants, chicken, steak, lamb chops, salmon, well, essentially anything we've been eating. She loves it all. And she's always hungry. I should have realized what was going on. Last week she pooped on the rug, pretty runny, and very unusual. So off we went to the vet and it turns out that she's hyperthyroid. So she's on medication now. She's 13 and we don't want to do surgery or radiation, so we'll try the meds for a while and see how it works. One more odd thing. She apparently peed outside of her litterbox. because there is a wet spot on the carpet. She's still using the litterbox a lot, but that spot doesn't seem to dry off. I'll get some nature's miracle and see if that helps. |
