Majik is hyperthyroid

after last weeks rodeo trapping and 5 hours at the walk in clinic holding on my lap my so-terrified-that-he-urinated-in-fear-from-those-yippie-little-dogs sweet boy, turns out that Majiks increased thirst is from hyperthyroidism not diabetes(like his fur sister). Tomorrow, he'll start the med, in liquid form; he would never let me pill him. Meds for a month then a re check.

Hyperthyroidism is better than diabetes...so that's good news as it's much more curable. Auntie Bush Jul 2013 #1

I agree. If your cat has to have something...this is the easiest to treat as well as the cheapest. Walk away Jul 2013 #2
