I do seem to be more subdued. My humans have some concern that I am starting to scratch at my face between my eyes and ears more, and they are monitoring that.

Saturday Snuggles
Audrey here, friends. I am doing OK. My vet had to increase my dosage of methimazole because my T4 levels were still elevated when checked 10 days ago (13, down from 23. Goal is below 4). The higher dose means for the first time I don't actually clean my food bowl instantly when I eat. That is good because I sure was eating a lot of food for a kitty my size.

Hopefully your vet would be able to get you on the right dose, Audrey. Meanwhile, enjoy your snuggles with your Dad!
ReplyDeleteLovely snuggly photo.. Hope they get the dose sorted out soon. Hugs GJ x
ReplyDeletePaws crossed that they figure out the proper dosage for you, Audrey!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, we are glad you are improving...we mean, your blood work. You are already purrfect!
ReplyDeleteSpending more time cuddling with your parents sounds like a great approach, Audrey!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
Oh Audrey... Try not to scratch at your face, okay? You have such a BEAUTIFUL face. No scratches, allowed. purrs
ReplyDeleteWe are all sending you purrs pretty Audrey and we hope the Vet figures out the dose thingy really soon.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, that is brought about by the meds I fink. Admiral didn;t but we have read that some kitties do, and close contact with your v-e-t will help. XXXOOOXXX Tell him/her about it soon.
ReplyDeleteFanks, Katie. We did already. He said our humans can use a little cortisone cream to limit the itchies. Of course Audrey doesn't like having the cream put on too much.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, we hope the vet can get your medicine regulated to help you. We've heard that it may require tweaking. You look very comfy there.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing okay!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, I didn't know you have hyper-t. Lucy had it too but it was actually very well maintained with the dose of methimazole she was on. I hope they'll find the perfect dose for you soon and that you'll feel good with no itchies.
ReplyDeletePurring for you Audrey, I too, have the dreaded thyroid troubles. Mommy puts the gel in my ears, also. Hope you get straightened out soon. XOXO
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable Audrey. Did you ever talk to Mizz Bassie about the thyroid treatments available. She's quite the expert.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you're getting better Audrey! You look very happy in your dad's arms!
ReplyDeleteWhen our Holly had the thyroid problems, it took a couple of tries to adjust the medicine. Glad you are enjoying that Dad. We never had any scratching problems. But the subdued part is probably to do with the thyroid. We sure hope you can get to feeling better.Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh Audrey, SUCH cuddles coming cyberly from the mommy here.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, we're keeping all paws crossed for you! So glad you're eating slower and getting loads of snuggles with dad!
ReplyDeletesending you hugs precious one!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, thank COD you're improving. Do take care and hope you get better each day. Sending you lotsa purrs.
ReplyDeleteAw, sweet Audrey, they will get that dosage right soon, and 13 is way better than 23! You look pretty content snuggling in Daddy's Lap. XOXOXOX
