Update on Pooper!

We are home!



Hyperthyroidism and severe dehydration. Of the four main possibilities that one is the best outcome. Not that thyroid issues are great, it’s just way better than cancer or failing kidneys. Plus, Leo had hypothyroidism so I am familiar with the routine of treating it. Even the meds are the same.

I was almost certain it was cancer. The doc looked at me funny when I gasped, “Oh thank gawd!” when she showed me the lab results.


Thank you all so much for your good thoughts and love! I’m positive it helped. It certainly helped me stay calm while we waited.



They gave her sub-q fluids with glucose added and a shot of anti-nausea medication. She already looks better– eyes more clear and bright, and her meows on the way home were hearty and of the “why am I still in this stupid crate” variety instead of the sad, weak, and hurting sounds she was making on the way to the vet.

She just had her first Tablespoon of Rx food at 6:00. She ate half (Yay!) then came back for a little more a few minutes later. So far, so good! I’m going to feed her little portions every few hours. No more meds due till tomorrow morning so we are just going to take it easy tonight, hopefully do some snuggling, and pray her food stays in her.

Sorry it took me so long to update. We went and got her thyroid rx filled and then over to Petsmart for a bag full of canned foods. No wonder she was bitching about being in the crate!
