radioactive kitty (followup)

[cellio]

Embla went to the vet tonight for scheduled maintenance... err, her three-month checkup after being treated for hyperthyroidism. I won't have the test results for a few days, but my vet said she would be very surprised if things are not normal. The folks at RadioCat had said that it was possible Embla would need a second treatment, because her numbers were off the scale.

While on the drugs in June Embla weighed 7lbs 14oz. After being off the drugs for a week (test requirement) in August, she was down to 7lbs 1oz. RadioCat did not weigh her on treatment day, but it was probably comparable. Tonight she weighed 9 pounds (even). She hasn't weighed that much for three years! So that's a good sign. Her heart rate was 160, which is very good.

Embla was not, however, happy to be at the vet's:

I parse this as "but mom, I am not having fun here!". :-) (I don't know how to transliterate "whiny tone", so you'll have to use your imagination.)

How old is your cat? And how much was the treatment? (If you don't mind me asking). My girl cat has been on Methamazole for twoish years now. I dissolve it in water and mix it with tuna. I'm sure she likes the tuna regimen better, but I'd like to know what the options entail.

Aww, poor little flat cat. "I am so going to pee in your shoes!"

I know better than to be fooled by the furry little demons and their lethal cuteness. I'm glad she's doing well, though!

I am glad she's doing so well. Yay, Embla!

Ella gets the same look at the vet's...poor kitty.
