Hyperthyroid boy 3/12/2015
Cuffy's had kidney disease for several years now, and it's been well controlled. We did blood work last week, and learned that his kidney levels are great, but that he's developed hyperthyroidism. Apparently they often go together, and the hyperthyroidism is no doubt artificially suppressing his kidney levels.
He's on medication now to adjust the thyroid, and we expect his creatinine and BUN to rise as his thyroid levels even out. That'll be about a month, and then we'll probably do the I-131 treatment and turn him temporarily into a radioactive kitty.
