[Felvtalk] ot-next problem

[Debbie Harrison]

Question...is "hyper-t hyper thyroid"???  It is what I suspected with my Baby Ruben...but the vet says "cats don't get that"....I tried to argue the point, but she wouldn't listen...Debbie (COL)"You gotta bloom where you're planted!"

My cat Shaft has lost nearly half his body weight.  Everyone here has been so sick I just didn't realize it until a few weeks ago (a few days before I was leaving for a week's vacation).  I got him into the vet suspecting hyper-t as soon as I got back.  That's what it was.  The vet detected a heart murmer as well.  He is an estimated 18 years old.  He had a fever and the vet put him on some amoxy for that, as well as the tapazole, of course.
 
Problem.  He now hides and I have to chase him around to get any med.s down him.  I've given up on everything except the tapazole and he still hides.  Should I stress him out with the chase down?  Crate him for a while?  He doesn't seem to be gaining ANY weight, and I have an appt. with vet again on Monday.  We were supposed to wait a month, but he's getting worse, not better.
 
Does anyone have the link to join the hyper-t group or any other advice?  I am quickly losing my mind. la la la la.
