Boopsie update

[xiphias]

So, the Boop's thyroid is high, so we're upping her thyroid medication. Hyperthyroidism is very common among geriatric cats, but the medication is reasonably cheap, so that's okay. She does have an infection, so we're keeping her on the antibiotics for a while.

And other than that, she seems more-or-less okay. Once we started the antibiotics, she's not pissing inappropriately (knock on wood).

I sent my hyperthyroid cat for radioactive iodine treatments years ago. It was a bit pricey, but cured her--much cheaper than 5 years of drugs.

We are not at that point yet, although it's something we've got in the back of our minds if the situation changes.
