I'm glad you called Dr. Lee and there's no cause for alarm. Will they do a re-check on her thyroid levels to see if Maggie is getting the proper dose? -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Kate 's message, "Hello there...thank you so much for answering my post......
I did call Dr. Lee's this morning, she said that since it's only going on two full weeks of the meds it's probaby due to her body/system still getting the levels corrected the way they should be..she said not to be concerned especially when I told her how beautiful and full her coat is and how alert her eyes are....she said as long as this continues and she is eating and using the litter box as usual then things are going fine..." on 8:33:58 am, Wed, 03/19/08

We take her back on April 1st for a check-up..and I'm sure they will be taking blood at that time....hopefully it's where they want it so we don't have to take her again really soon...she gets so traumatized by these visits, I just hate to do it to her.... (NT) -- Kate, 7:16:46 pm, Wed, 03/19/08
I didn't know about the "tired" part of this, I'd have thought this would be BEFORE meds and not after. April 1 isn't too far and maybe it's winter depression and she is tired of this weather too! : ) SPring will perk all of us up...I hope! (NT) -- Denise, 5:32:43 am, Thu, 03/20/08
That is sort of what I thought too Denise...outside of not playing much she seems to be fine and as I said, really looks good...Unfortunately right now it's virtually impossible for me to get her to the vet until at the very earliest next Wednesday..so I'm just watching her...I think she is ok...I think I'm being overly-worried!! (NT) -- Kate, 11:11:42 am, Thu, 03/20/08
Just did some more digging in to hyperthyroidism in cats and the medication Maggie is on...here one of the side-affects is lethargy...so maybe that makes more sense as to why she is acting like this..plus vomiting, which she did do last night....
so I'm calling Dr. Lee again just to be on the safe side.... (NT) -- Kate (again), 11:24:07 am, Thu, 03/20/08
