In reply to: Kate 's message, "Well this girl is going to have to learn to "pill a cat"....
Dr. Lee called this evening with Maggie's blood test results...all of her levels were good, but remember I said she also added the thyroid test? Well it came back that she has Hyperthyroidism (that's right isn't it? this is the one that causes weight loss....right???) anyway, I have to start giving her a pill a day then she'll have to go back in a month for a re-check on her blood work...." on 6:40:34 pm, Thu, 03/06/08

I'm just so glad it's something that is treatable....I've been on "pins-and-needles" all day waiting for the darn phone call!!! (NT) -- Kate, 6:44:27 pm, Thu, 03/06/08
I was hopig with Reba that is was thyroid cause it's so easily treated. The pills are small so that helps. WIth Jaz was on Lasix it was a small pill too. I out him the counter top, opened his mouth and tossed it in. He never spit one back out. He was so good! I've never tried the pill pockets and I have some cats that don't take treats so it wouldn't work for some but I think that's worth a try! Good luck! I hope her first retest shows she is getting enough! (NT) -- Denise, 8:13:34 pm, Thu, 03/06/08
