Dad is still involved in painting, and I do like to lie on the canvas drop cloths he uses to protect the rugs and furniture from his splatterings. As you can see here:
Kitties, I have some unsettling news, though with some of the things other pets and humans are facing, it is not that big of a deal. Mom has been noticing that I seemed thinner, even in spite of having a good appetite. She thought there was a chance I had diabetes. So on Wednesday I was hauled off to the vet and they stole some blood from my arm to do their tests. They checked the glucose right away and told the humans it was normal. However, the test results showed that I was mildly hyperthyroid. The vet had also commented on my heart being faster than normal, but said it could have been from just being there. Seems not so, as that is a symptom of hyperthyroidism too.
I know many kitties have this, and my humans went through it with Audrey, whose T4 level was much higher. So they are going to be trying to get me to take some medicine for it. Wish us all luck!
We are all sending purrs and prayers to you Simba and we know the peeps can help you manage this just fine pal.
ReplyDeleteSimba, I'm sorry to hear about the hyperthyroidism but glad that it's mild. Lucy had it too and the lady put her pill in her food every morning. I hope the medicine taking goes well.
ReplyDeleteThe drop cloth looks comfy. I hope you have an Easy Sunday and that this will be easily managed and not serious.
Big purrs for you Simba. Are you thinking about the I-131 treatment? or just medication? We know you will do just great whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteJust medication at this point, but who knows as time goes by, and if I will tolerate the medicine well or not.
DeleteLots of purrs to you, Simba. It's good your mom's already in the know about hyper-t meds, other options, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am sending purrs that the thyroid meds will bring your numbers back down where they should be.
ReplyDeleteYou have our purrayers too. We hope the meds fix everything quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh Simba, we sure send lots of purrs and prayers. Please take the Medicine for Mom and Dad. You can live a long time with this if you will just help by accepting the medicine. Hope you do have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI hope the meds work out for you, Simba! Sending purrs your way.
ReplyDeletePurring the meds work.

ReplyDeleteSimba, we're sorry you're hyper-T, but there are a number of kitties that have it and do well on the medication. It might take a little tweaking to get the right dosage for you, but we're purring that you do well too.

ReplyDeleteSweet Simba, we're sending lots of soft purrs. We know you'll do well and will feel better with your medication.

Simba, we will all be hoping that whatever you have to do will work for you. After all, for starters you have to help your dad finish that paint job!
ReplyDeleteSending healing purrz, Simba. There seems to be a lot of this going round the CB. I wonder if there’s something in the food that’s responsible.
