Prevention of bulging eyes is not possible in some cases, and if it is genetic or because of hyperthyroidism, the patient can not prevent the bulging of eyes. Consulting a doctor to know the possible steps to take to prevent exophthalmos works in most of the cases.For help,visit entdoctorhouston.blogspot.in/2016/08/all-that-you-need-to...
This is Artie. He continues to live on borrowed time.
Artie was found in a dumpster along with his siblings at 5 weeks old. He was surrendered to the SPCA malnourished and generally in poor health. He spent his kittenhood mostly chillin' on the couch, a practice that he has mastered over the last 8 years. When Artie was 3, he and his buddy Al got into some unknown poisonous substance which killed my other cat Al, and nearly killed Artie. I brought him back from the brink of death with thrice daily subcutaneous injections of saline solution, forced feeding and prescription drugs. He wasn't supposed to live, but he did.
I always maintained that Artie's near death experience did damage to his body. It's impossible to say if that's true or not, but it does seem that way. Artie has developed a thyroid condition that is supposed to make him skinny and neurotic (hyperthyroid), but he's powered through it and has remained fat, lazy and laid back. Leave it to Artie to fight a condition that should force him into exercise.
Recently Artie has had trouble jumping up onto the the couch to nap, which is essentially the only exercise he gets these days. I took him to the vet, wondering if he was developing arthritis. Diagnosis: FAT. Yes, Artie has gained 2lbs (now a whopping 18lbs) since he started taking these thyroid meds, which slow his metabolism and "calm him down". Holy Christ I didn't think this cat could get any calmer, but leave it to science to provide a drug for that. So, the vet thinks that likely Artie has gotten a bit too tubby to maintain the "agility" he once had. The fat bastard now has to go on a diet, and he isn't going to like that one bit.
During the vet visit we decided to have his blood and urine tested, as the last time Artie was in his creatine tested high. The results of the urine test revealed he has crystals in his urine, which are the type not easily broken down through prescription food, and can lead to kidney stones. So now he has to get an ultrasound and have urine tests done every couple months to make sure that doesn't get out of control.
Now, Artie isn't one of those jerkstore cats that treats you like shit and wrecks all your stuff. Artie has more personality than most people I know, and is extremely affectionate and gentle. That little bastard KNOWS I will spend the money on him to keep him living a long life, so I think he's finding every ailment he can to milk me of my limited fortunes.
I'm sure that he and the vet are in it together.
Rockie loved water. When she first moved in with us she spent all of her time in our bathroom bunting the water dish or sleeping in the tub. It took her body a while to get used to being on the meds for hyperthyroidism... she spent less and less time in the bathroom over the year that she lived with us before she died. Rockie was helped along to the Other World on July 6th, 2010, after having lived with us four days short of a year. She was a sweet, and odd kittie.
Day 16-Today is my Mum's birthday. I would tell you her age but i know women dont like that spread around, if memory serves. I am really close to my parents but closer to my mum. I am probably considered a "mama's boy" by some b/c i do so much with her and she with me. We spend so much time together we can reference films together. I have sacrificed a lot to do some things for her like when she had her wisdom teeth removed, when she had bells palsy, when had hyperthyroid and was couch ridden for months. I drove her to doctors and took her to appointments. Being the support that my dad should be but we won't get into that...
She sacrificed a ton for me as well all these years, getting me through school, motivating me, counciling me through relationships, school, my whole life.
I guess you could call us co-dependent but whatever it is i love her. She annoys me from time to time but all parents do.
Happy Birthday, Mum!
(oh and that ribbon she is wearing is a Hello Kitty Birthday Girl ribbon i got at a big box store)
He has cataracts. He goes back to the new vet on Tuesday for a full work up.
How did our previous vet never notice cataracts?
We are worried because he has been fairly lethargic. The vet talked to us a little about "quality of life" but I think he just wants us to think about it as we figure out what all is going on with Mr. Grumpy.
The previous vet diagnosed him with asthma, hyperthyroidism and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We hope the new vet has some better answers.

Hot flashes can really be a hassle. They can be stressful as they come and go without warning. Most people look to their doctor to prescribe them accordingly with medicine that may ease the symptoms of hot flashes.
Taking traditional synthetic medicine can sometimes be a hassle as medication can be expensive and produce unwanted side effects.
Essential oils are a wonderful alternative traditional synthetic medicine as essential oils are natural, affordable, and have little to no side effects. This is your ultimate guide to finding the best essential oils to treat hot flashes!
Best Essential Oils For Hot Flashes - What Exactly Are Hot Flashes?
Before we get into knowing the cure, it is best that we know what hot flashes are and what are the condition’s causes, symptoms, risk factors, and complications. It is most important to know your condition before you treat it, for this reason I've listed down below all of the things that you need to know about hot flashes!
What Are The Symptoms?
Hot flashes are a quick feeling of heat that is usually followed by having a red flushed face and sweating. Scientists have not exactly determined the cause of hot flashes but they are usually related to changes in air circulation.
The symptoms of hot flashes include:
Skin that suddenly feels warm
Experiencing redness of skin on the face, neck, ears, and chest
Sweating
A heartbeat that is faster than usual
Tingling in your fingers
Aside from the symptoms that I've cited above, many people tend to feel cold and get chills when their bout of hot flashes goes away.
While hot flashes are common during the day, they can also occur at night. Hot flashes that occur at night are called night sweats. Night sweats can be a hassle as it can cause you to have a hard time to sleep.
On the other hand, a hot flush is a hot flash that comes with redness in the face and the neck.
The duration of hot flashes may vary but they tend to occur for short periods of time during menopause.
Hot flashes are a trademark symbol of menopause. Women who are undergoing menopause tend to experience hot flashes as often as a few times a day. Although menopause is the leading cause, it isn't the only cause.
What Are The Causes And Risk Factors?
The exact cause of hot flashes have not yet been figured out by scientists, but it is often thought that hot flashes are caused by changes in air circulation and hormone levels. Hot flashes have been found to be triggered by several factors.
Potential triggers of hot flashes include:
Spicy food
Hot drinks
Alcoholic beverages
Warm temperatures
Tobacco smoking
Tight clothing
Stress, anxiety, depression
Pregnancy
Chemotherapy
Hyperthyroidism
Spinal lesions
Certain medications
Besides the things that I've listed above, there are a number of other things that can trigger hot flashes.
Studies have also shown that ethnicity plays a factor on the likelihood of an individual to get hot flashes. People of African descent have been shown to report more instances of menopause caused hot flashes than their European and Asian counterparts.
I advise that you consult your doctor as soon as you can if you experience hot flashes on a regular basis. A doctor would be able to accurately pinpoint the cause of your hot flashes and advise you on how to deal with them accordingly.
Are There Any Complications?
Yes. Night time hot flashes or night sweats can wake you from your slumber and in time cause chronic insomnia. Hot flashes have also been linked to the development of heart disease and bone loss.
Hot flashes may seem like a medical condition that should not be of concern but it may serve as a gateway for many other medical conditions that can be life threatening. It is very important that you not take hot flashes for granted and deal with them accordingly.
Diagnosis
There aren't really any tests to diagnose hot flashes. Instead, your doctor may diagnose you based on your description of your symptoms. Your doctor may also sometimes ask you to take a blood test in order to find out if you're in menopausal transition.
How To Self-Manage Hot Flashes
If you're experiencing mild hot flashes, I suggest that you take on these lifestyle changes to manage them:
Stay Cool
It is widely accepted that slight variations in your body's core temperature may cause hot flashes. I advise that you dress in layers so that you may remove your clothing accordingly if you feel warm.
Another way to stay cool is to open your electric fan, windows, or air conditioner. If possible, lower your room temperature.
Lastly, if you feel that you're about to experience a bout of hot flashes, drink something cold as soon as you can. Cold drinks are great for lowering your body temperature and alleviating hot flashes.
Relax
There are some people that find relief from their hot flashes through meditation and other stress reducing techniques.
Even if stress reducing techniques don't completely eliminate your hot flashes, you should do them anyway as they might provide other benefits, such as easing sleep disturbances that tend to occur with menopause.
Watch Your Diet
Caffeinated beverages, spicy food, and alcoholic beverages are all known to trigger hot flashes. It is most important that you learn to recognize what food and drinks cause hot flashes and avoid them for the better.
Lose Weight
If you are overweight or obese, it is best to shed off those unnecessary pounds as losing weight may aid in easing your hot flashes.
Do Not Smoke
Smoking has been linked by both doctors and scientists to hot flashes. By not smoking, you dramatically reduce your chances of getting hot flashes.
Aside from reducing the risk of getting hot flashes, not smoking also greatly reduces your chances of getting deadly diseases that are known to be caused by smoking. You'll be doing yourself a favor by not smoking!
Best Essential Oils For Hot Flashes - What Are The Best For Your Hot Flashes?
Like I said earlier, essential oils are a great alternative to traditional medications if you're looking to manage the symptoms of your hot flashes. Experts have found several different essential oils to be able to provide utmost relief when applied on various areas of the body.
The essential oils that relieve hot flashes come from a variety of different plants.
Below are the five essential oils that have been found to be great for alleviating the symptoms that are caused by hot flashes!
Clary Sage Essential Oil
Clary sage essential oil is extracted from the herbaceous plant, salvia sclarea. People have been using the clary sage plant medicinally for more than a thousand years as an eye cleanser. The term ‘clary’ comes from the Latin word ‘clarus’, which means clarifying or cleansing.
The essential oil that is extracted from this plant has been found to possess antibacterial, anti-
inflammatory, carminative, sedative, hypotensive, euphoric, and antidepressant properties.
Aside from being used for medicinal purposes, clary sage essential oil is also used in the cosmetic industry as it is a common ingredient in many deodorants, herbal soaps, shampoos, face washes, and other hygiene products.
To relieve yourself of hot flashes, all you need to do is to rub three drops of diluted clary sage oil across the back of your neck or your feet.
If you want even quicker relief, dab a few drops of the oil on a napkin or a swab of cotton and inhale and exhale.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is actually the most used essential oil in the entire world. Ancient records tell us that lavender essential oil has a deep history and has been used medicinally and religiously for more than two millennia.
The Egyptians famously used lavender oil for mummification and as a perfume. Aside from the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans also used lavender oil for cooking, scenting air, and bathing.
Lavender oil is great for hot flashes as it balances your hormones and soothes perineal discomfort. Aside from being able to relieve perineal discomfort and balance your hormones, Lavender essential oil also has the ability to promote feelings of relaxation and improve the quality of your sleep.
This amazing essential oil is a perfect alternative for those who are taking sleeping aid medications as lavender oil does not have side effects.
Hot flashes are guaranteed to be a thing of the past with lavender essential oil!
Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint essential oil has a fresh and invigorating minty aroma. This amazing essential oil is very versatile and has been found to be great for countless different kinds of applications.
Scientists have widely studied this oil and have discovered countless alkaloids and compounds that benefit our health.
The peppermint plant is actually a natural hybrid of the water mint and the spearmint plants. Native to the European continent, this plant grows to a maximum of 60 cm tall. Peppermint plants bloom from July to August, where they sprout tiny purple flowers.
Peppermint oil is extracted from the whole plant above ground just before flowering. The oil is extracted by steam distillation from the fresh or partly dried plant.
This wonderful essential oil is perfect for relieving the discomfort brought upon by hot flashes. For quick relief, all you need to do is to apply two drops of this oil on a tissue and hold the tissue up to your nose and breathe in slowly.
Basil Essential Oil
Basil oil comes from the basil plant that we all know and love. We often associate basil with Italian cuisine, but did you know that the essential oil that can be extracted from the plant has loads of health benefits?
The essential oil that comes from basil is mostly used for respiratory, muscular, and joint support.
Aside from what I stated above, basil oil is also great for increasing your estrogen levels. Increased estrogen levels in women often improve moods and therefore reduce stress and unwanted bouts of hot flashes.
To use basil essential oil, all you need to do is to rub the diluted oil on your feet and the back of your neck.
You're sure to get quick relief with this amazing essential oil from the basil plant!
Citrus Essential Oil
Citrus oil aromatherapy has been found by scientists and doctors to have a wide array of benefits for women who are suffering from menopause.
A study which was conducted back in 2014 proved that postmenopausal women who inhaled this essential oil experienced an increase in libido and a decrease in symptoms brought upon by menopause.
Women who inhaled citrus essential oil are said to experience a decrease in blood pressure, as well as an improved pulse rate and a more balanced estrogen level.
Aside from being beneficial for blood circulation and hormone regulation, citrus essential oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. Your hot flashes and aches and pains are sure to become a thing of the past with this essential oil!
Best Essential Oils For Hot Flashes - What To Consider Before Treating Your Hot Flashes With Essential Oil
Essential oils are a great alternative to traditional medicine but like all medicines, essential oils aren't perfect for everyone.
I generally don't recommend essential oils to people who have sensitive skin as essential oils may sometimes may do more harm than good due to allergic reactions that may arise when a person who has sensitive skin uses them.
Before applying any kinds of essential oil, I believe that it is best that you conduct a simple test to make sure that you aren't allergic to the oil that you plan on using.
To test your skin, all you need to do is to put a dab of the oil that you wish to use on your skin and wait for fifteen to thirty minutes. If there aren’t any harsh reactions, then you're clear to proceed.
The post Healthy Essentials: The Best Essential Oils For Hot Flashes! appeared first on Oiling Point.
Neko was treated for hyper-thyroidism, a condition where a tumour within the thyroid glad over-produces various hormones. This results in a variety of symptoms, from weight loss (see how skinny she is now compared to before - she lost over 2 kg), excessive moulting, constant thirst, over-eating, etc.
The treatment consists of Neko being injected with radioactive iodine, which is absorbed by the tumour and kills the affected cells (leaving the healthy ones alone - clever!)
So now I have a radioactive cat! (For about another week, anyway, before it dissipates).
I am looking for the first signs of mutant super-powers developing, but so far, no luck.
I buried Squeaker today.
When people ask me how she came into my life, I would say "she came with the house." It sounds glib, but it's true.
When Jenny and I bought the house on Avenue G at the beginning of 1997, Squeaker was already living there as a street cat. She had been looked after by the previous occupants. When we showed up, she initially kept her distance (hanging out at a neighbor's place instead), but after a few months, she warmed up to us. When the first freeze of the winter came at the end of '97, Jenny and I agreed to let Squeaker spend the night indoors, just for that one night. Apart from a couple of forays into the back yard, she never went outdoors again.
Squeaker was already an adult when we took her in—our best estimate is that she was born in 1990. She was compact, stout, and stiff-legged, never jumping but frequently clambering up onto whatever surface she wanted to occupy. She enjoyed surprisingly forceful head-butts, and never played with toys when anyone was watching.
A lot happened to me over the intervening years—one marriage ended, another begun. I broke my pelvis. I sold the house on Avenue G and bought the one I live in now with Gwen. Squeaker was with me through all of that.
She was not unmarked by time. In 2004, she developed a growth on one foot that ultimately required two toes to be amputated. That growth re-appeared on her foot, but never obviously went beyond that.
Over the past few months, her stiffness of leg turned into painful arthritis. She developed hyperthyroidism, meaning her pulse was always racing, she was constantly hungry, and losing weight. I put her on a painkiller for the arthritis. She still seemed to be generally happy, but I realized she was in the endgame.
Over just the past few days, she declined precipitously. She lost her appetite and even had trouble drinking water. Her meow, which had always been stentorian and scratchy, became pathetic and weak. She smelled awful. It was time. I had the vet make a housecall to euthanize her. If anything, I should have done it a few days earlier. Her last day was peaceful.
Gwen and I went through this about a year and a half ago with the cat she'd had for even longer, Oscar. It doesn't get easier with practice.
this is zoomer. last summer, zoomer had a ruptured anal gland. this summer, she had a hematoma on her ear. zoomer and her sister callie are 15 years old. callie has hyperthyroidism and her kidneys are failing. 15 must be the year when geriatric cats fall apart.
the ear puffed up like a turnover and filled with blood. to treat her, the vet lanced the ear and removed the blood clot. because the bottom layer of the ear had separated from the top, it needed to be sutured together so it will adhere back...otherwise, it would just fill up with blood again. to make sure the sutures hold for the three weeks necessary, the vet sewed shirt buttons to her ear...three pairs with one on each side of the ear. apparently, this happens pretty often because not only did he have 6 shirt buttons on hand, he was able to match them to her fur.
i had never heard of this treatment, so i thought i would share.
Rusty has been more tired than usual today but she woke up enough to eavesdrop on my conversation with Koharia from the North West Nuclear Medicine for Animals clinic (Vancouver, BC).
After speaking to Koh I decided that the Radioiodine (i-131) Treatment will cause Rusty the least amount of grief in the long run.
She goes in July 21st and stays for a week. She will have some radioactive stuff injected under the skin in the shoulder blade area the same day. THAT'S IT! It will not make her sick and she will feel the same as if I'd dropped her for a week and she never had any sort of treatment at all. (Seven days of loneliness ... that's all ... and I imagine she'll sleep just like she does at home).
When I pick her up her too-small-bed can't come home with us because it will be glowing with radioactivity (well, maybe not exactly glowing).
The clinic only takes 8 cats a week ... all coming in on the same day. The people who work there love cats and give them a lot of attention. Those cats who want to walk around can come out of their cages.
Every day I will get a phone call to report how she is doing.
When she comes home I am not supposed to hold her for more than 30 minutes for 10 days.
The Radioiodine (i-131) Treatment is a total cure and apart from a blood test at one month and another one at 3 months Rusty should be able to sail on into her old age with her heart murmur, slightly failing kidneys and me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S. (To answer Rebecca's questions) Humans have many times more radiation when they have similar treatment and they stay in hospital for 3 days or less. The 7 days for cats is a government regulation and not a treatment time (it's just a wait-unitl-you-can-go-home time).
Yes, it's expensive ($1500 + tax) ... a sad thing for families who don't have the money. They say the procedure pays for itself in less than 18 months as the chicken tasting liquid medication she's taking right now is expensive too.
In 2% of cases the procedure has to be done a second time and there is no charge for that. As Rusty's hyperthyroidism was caught very early she has almost no chance of being in that 2% group.
Vitiligo treatment in mumbai :- Vitiligo is albeit not a typical issue but rather the name isn't so normal. Usually vitiligo is known and perceived by the white patches on the skin. There isn't age limitation on vitiligo and accordingly the treatment for vitiligo can be looked for whenever. Vitiligo treatment in Mumbai is effectively accessible at the best places. The reason for vitiligo is the deficiency of creation of melanin from the cells. As de-pigmentation occurs, white patches begin showing up on the skin in various pieces of the body like within surfaces of mouth, nose and retina. Since vitiligo shows up as white patches it is more observable in individuals with brown complexions.
Treatment for vitiligo in Mumbai differs as indicated by the patient prerequisite and skin type. Not all patients want treatment for vitiligo in Mumbai, some really like to utilize cosmetics to cover the indications of vitiligo. Treatment for vitiligo in Mumbai is a long interaction and relying upon the seriousness of the vitiligo the treatment can keep going for as long as eighteen months.
Before you look for treatment for vitiligo in Mumbai there are a few variables to be viewed as which can influence your treatment choices as well. These incorporate family background of vitiligo, immune system illnesses, rashes and burns from the sun on skin before the white patches, silver hair before the age of 35 and outrageous affectability to sun. Individuals conveying a bunch of three imperfect qualities are well on the way to foster Vitiligo before their 40th birthday celebration. Conditions like Hyperthyroidism, adrenocortical inadequacy, Alopecia areata and Perinicious weakness can trigger the beginning of Vitiligo.

These photos were taken by my dad this AM when I went to visit Buster at the vet. Yesterday, he had a very significant behaviour change, and was obviously not well - seeking attention, not leaving my side, and whimpering at times. There was no sign of illness...but very generalized and vague symptoms of him not being right.
Since he was dehydrated, they kept him overnight on IV, and did bloodwork (and we were going to go from there). They were puzzled and his initial rule outs last night were: possible pain (back, neck or abdo), renal disease, infection, possible addisons, or possible toxin/trauma.
This AM they let me know that his bloodwork came back normal with the exception of high free T4 - was @ 74 (should be 14-40). At that point they wanted to keep him and perform some further testing (as he was not displaying the typical signs of hyperthyroid). I was able to go an visit him, and by the time I arrived, he was bright, and well on his way to feeling back to normal (although he wasn't too happy being at the vet or with an IV). Based on his progress back to normal, it was determined to hold off on any further testing to to the very general nature of his symptoms, and is progressing well - the only abnormal was T4 but hyperthyroid is rare, he didn't match any of the symptoms, and no palpable mass could be felt on the thyroid.
Due to the unknown cause, I am to monitor him closely through the week for any symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, painful episodes or any other abnormal behaviour. And possible thyroid panel with my regular vet if this is something that I wish to pursue. So I will book Buster in for his heartworm tests at the end of this week, and discuss further with my vet about appropriate investigation (thyroid panel), and if it is necessary based on how he is during the week.
I have a feeling that he has eaten something he shouldn't off the ground, possibly being a dropped thyroid pill out at the park.
He is back home with me, and feeling much better (and of course playing up the attention the IV bandage is getting him...haha).
Neko was treated for hyper-thyroidism, a condition where a tumour within the thyroid glad over-produces various hormones. This results in a variety of symptoms, from weight loss (see how skinny she is now compared to before - she lost over 2 kg), excessive moulting, constant thirst, over-eating, etc.

Your thyroid produces thyroid hormone, which controls many activities in your body, including how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. Diseases of the thyroid cause it to make either too much or too little of the hormone. Depending on how much or how little hormone your thyroid makes, you may often feel restless or tired, or you may lose or gain weight.

I adopted Elvis (left) and Bob (right) from Seattle Humane in April 2010. At the time, I did it mainly because I felt so sorry for them--there they were, two sweet old brothers who had managed to stay together through three previous owners and 17 years--only to end up in a shelter. They've turned out to be the most wonderful, amazing cats; I had no idea I would end up loving them as much as I do. If I'd adopted them as kittens and had them for the past 19 years, I'm not sure I would love them any more than I do now.
Both had early-stage CRF (kidney disease), and their previous owner surrendered them because Elvis (left) had taken to peeing outside the litter box. On their shelter intake forms, Elvis' reason for surrender was listed as "housesoiler," and Bob's as "brother of housesoiler" (and I still call them that sometimes when they're being obnoxious). But since they came to live with me, Elvis has never peed outside the box once--probably because, unlike their previous owners, we don't use a covered litter box. Elvis is a big guy, plus he's old and disabled, and I'm pretty sure he took to housesoiling because getting into a covered box just got too difficult and uncomfortable.
Adopting old cats does have its challenges. They do need frequent vet visits and daily medications (Bob is hyperthyroid and hypertensive; Elvis gets pain meds for arthritis), which gets expensive. My daily schedule has to accommodate medicating cats every 12 hours, so I can't just put down food and run off for the weekend--the boys have to be boarded at the vet's. They're also on a prescription diet for their kidney disease, which isn't cheap. I joke that they're "my expensive hobby," and frankly, they are. But to me they're absolutely worth it.
I've also had to make some accommodations for Elvis' disabilities. Because he has joint degeneration in his front legs and arthritis in his back legs, he needs steps to climb up on the couch and bed, and into his favorite sunny window perch. While he can get into a regular catbox, he has days when he much prefers the shallow, easy-access box I made for him from a plastic storage bin. And while he enjoys cardboard scratchers, he can no longer claw hard enough to remove the old claw sheaths, so I have to trim and clean up his claws for him so they don't grow into the pads of his feet.
But despite their old-cat problems, Elvis and Bob are both doing really well--far better than I expected. When I brought them home I thought Elvis had maybe another year or so to go, and Bob might get two years. But those two years have gone by in a flash and they're still here and show no signs of leaving anytime soon! So while I know that old cats can go very suddenly from all kinds of ailments, I have a reasonable expectation that they'll both make it to 20.
Elvis and his brother Bob are truly a bonded pair--as long as they're together, everything is cool. When I take them to the vet, I put them both in the same big carrier, and everything's just fine as far as they're concerned. I've even seen them use the catbox together (though never when I have a camera within reach)! I'm their fourth owner (not counting the shelters they've been through), and their last. I don't know how much time we have left together, but I'm loving every minute of it and they seem to be as happy as a couple of ancient cats can be.

This results in a variety of symptoms, from weight loss (see how skinny she is now compared to before - she lost over 2 kg), excessive moulting, constant thirst, over-eating, etc.

Fergie lives next door, he got his name because he purrs like a big, old tractor!
(He's not very well, sadly, he has hyperthyroidism but it is being managed well. He's such a lovely boy, someone dumped him on a country road, my neighbours took him in as a kitten, they love him to bits)
Hypothyroidism occurs once the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone. This could occur for various reasons. Treatment may rely on various factors like the patient’s health history, the severity of these condition, and the kind of medical practitioner they seek for...

18 years and 10 months, Rosie still ventures into the courtyard occasionally but is mostly sleepy. Medicated for hyperthyroidism, and has some sore bones.
Our girl, Rosie, is turning 15 this year! She arrived at C.A.R.E.S. December 2013 when she was found in Abbotsford at an auto-wrecking company by one of our volunteers. Cold, hungry, and scared, our volunteers were able to make Rosie comfortable at the shelter.
Since her arrival, Rosie has developed hyperthyroid, kidney and liver issues. This has caused her to lose a significant amount of weight, however, C.A.R.E.S. has been able to slow down these issues with medicine and frequent vet trips.
Rosie can now be found in our ‘geriatric ward’ waiting for our volunteers for head bumps and cuddles. She is an absolute delight!
Please consider donating generously to C.A.R.E.S. to help us help Rosie:

By hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is producing too less hormones to stimulate the metabolism or the body is not able to utilize the hormones. The lack of thyroid hormones slows down the metabolism and thus all the activities in the body, giving a combination of many symptoms related to...

I am so uneasy tonight.
Douglas is 18½ years old and has hyperthyroidism, which is being controlled with medication, but just after his last vet visit two weeks ago he's been going downhill fast. He's so skinny, even though he does eat (although he did not eat tonight), and his howling (which he's been doing for a year-and-a-half) became a weak meow a few weeks ago and now I realize he hasn't made a sound in a week, except for purring, when we're close.
Something feels different about tonight. After she ate, Betsy quietly laid on the floor about a meter from him, instead of following me around.
He doesn't seem to be in distress, no labored breathing, but...
I know it has to happen sometime, you know, the end, but I have to tell you I do not approve. Even if it's peaceful.

Katie is not responding well to the medicine for her hyperthyroidism. Too many side effects and she continues to lose weight. In some ways, strangely, she seems happier than before. but she is clearly not well.
Hyperthyroidism Treatment| How I found the Best Hyperthyroidism Treatment Method. For your 37% Cash Rebate Go Here bit.ly/Nz7HtT. When I got hyperthyroidism I felt so bad that I had to lie down all the time. Hearing the sad of stories of others who had suffered from medical treatment, I began searching the Internet for natural methods of healing. I had already began a diet of foods to suppress my thyroid and was taking vitaims/minerals etc. before I found this site. I also discovered from that website that the Tea recipe is wonderful in bringing a good night's sleep. For someone who was only sleeping for two hours a night, this was a blessed relief. I drink a cup of "Graves Tea" at 9:30 and by 10:00 I am asleep and do not awaken until 6:00. The facts on bit.ly/Nz7HtT confirmed what I had already learned about hyperthyroidism treatment as well as revealing information that I did not know. For example, I discovered foods that I should avoid and this helped to calm my heart rate. remedy for hyperthyroidism home remedy for hyperthyroidism homeopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism holistic remedy for hyperthyroidism best remedy for hyperthyroidism naturopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism remedy for hyperthyroidism natural remedy for hyperthyroidism home remedy for hyperthyroidism homeopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism herbal remedy for hyperthyroidism holistic remedy for hyperthyroidism best remedy for hyperthyroidism homeopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism cats natural remedy for hyperthyroidism in dogs home remedies for hyperthyroidism disease remedy for hyperthyroidism emedicine natural remedy for feline hyperthyroidism home remedy for hyperthyroidism homeopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism herbal remedy for hyperthyroidism holistic remedy for hyperthyroidism homoeopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism home remedies for hyperthyroidism in women natural remedy for hyperthyroidism naturopathic remedy for hyperthyroidism natural remedy for hyperthyroidism in dogs home remedy for hyperthyroid problems natural remedies for hyperthyroid problems remedy for hyperthyroidism symptoms remedy for hyperthyroidism treatment remedy for hyperthyroidism youtube The Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism Treatment Report is not available anywhere except right on this website. Doctors and those in the medical community focus on medicine, surgery, and other medical procedures... not natural remedies. Your doctor probably doesn't know about any alternative remedies, because doctors generally don't use natural solutions. They don't even learn about natural remedies in medical school! That is why most doctors are skeptical of home remedies. But even if your doctor knew about a proven natural remedy... do you think they would tell you about it? Prescribing medication and performing surgery is the lifeblood of their business! They make money when you receive medical treatment in hospitals. They don't make money when you heal yourself at home! So if you look for a natural hyperthyroidism treamtent, you defenitely need to go here: bit.ly/Nz7HtT
As she was a few years ago, very much gravitationally challenged. Since being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and subjected to a special diet she has lost half her body weight, hence the difference between this image and the previous 8.
She loves cardboard boxes and to sit in them, then claw them to pieces!
Hypothyroidism literally indicates under productive thyroid gland, the gland situated within leading of your respective neck that produces particular hormones that impact your well being. Hypothyroidism is characterized by a gradual metabolism.

We've been seeing a lot of this lately. We think Kelli has developed hyperthyroidism. She has become an eating machine over the last few weeks, but losing weight. The vet did a blood test on her yesterday, and we are awaiting confirmation of diagnosis to begin treatment to help her back to normal.
I am so grateful to F------e for creating T-----m. I have struggled with my weight all my life and it has been a huge blessing to me. I have lost weight in the past, but it always seemed to come back. I would cut my calories and do my best to stay away from sugar, and incorporate exercise to lose the weight, but it was a difficult and slow process. When I learned that F------e was launching a new product that supported weight loss, I couldn’t wait to try it. When I started drinking T-----m on January 22, 2009, I still experienced all of the benefits I had with G----i with all of the added benefits of T-----m. With T-----m I have a lot of energy and I’m able to do my regular activities with plenty of energy to spare for any exercise I need to do. I have also noticed that I don’t have cravings. Less than three months after starting the T-----m program I have lost 33 pounds. I know that with T-----m I can continue to lose weight and feel great. If you are trying to lose weight, I would encourage you to try T-----m. I know it has made all the difference.
Mozza's been doing very well since the Tapazole transdermal gel has been used. Took about 1 1/2 months to get him to full dose & for it to work but he seems very happy now. Still has a big appetite (or maybe I should say he needs to eat often - every 2 1/2 - 3 hours) but no coaxing needed for him to finish off his food!
My boy has turned into The Lap Monster. A purring machine! I swear he must watch me & if I sit down for a minute, he's wanting up for cuddles. I think it's really great but it sure makes eating, beading & reading hard. Sometimes I have to be 'mean' & shoo him away. I can't possibly bead - with lots of tiny seed beads or other beads - & have him moving about on my lap. Don't worry - I make sure he gets lots & lots of lovies from me at other times.
I just wanted to let everyone know that despite having hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney failure & being 17 years old, he's doing VERY well & is one very happy loving pussy cat!! And I'm one very happy person too now that I'm not stressed about how he feels. :-D
Munchkin has started on a twice daily dose of medicine to treat hyperthyroidism. He weighed in at a meager 6 lb, 5 oz last week. He used to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 pounds.

These photos were taken by my dad this AM when I went to visit Buster at the vet. Yesterday, he had a very significant behaviour change, and was obviously not well - seeking attention, not leaving my side, and whimpering at times. There was no sign of illness...but very generalized and vague symptoms of him not being right.
Since he was dehydrated, they kept him overnight on IV, and did bloodwork (and we were going to go from there). They were puzzled and his initial rule outs last night were: possible pain (back, neck or abdo), renal disease, infection, possible addisons, or possible toxin/trauma.
This AM they let me know that his bloodwork came back normal with the exception of high free T4 - was @ 74 (should be 14-40). At that point they wanted to keep him and perform some further testing (as he was not displaying the typical signs of hyperthyroid). I was able to go an visit him, and by the time I arrived, he was bright, and well on his way to feeling back to normal (although he wasn't too happy being at the vet or with an IV). Based on his progress back to normal, it was determined to hold off on any further testing to to the very general nature of his symptoms, and is progressing well - the only abnormal was T4 but hyperthyroid is rare, he didn't match any of the symptoms, and no palpable mass could be felt on the thyroid.
Due to the unknown cause, I am to monitor him closely through the week for any symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, painful episodes or any other abnormal behaviour. And possible thyroid panel with my regular vet if this is something that I wish to pursue. So I will book Buster in for his heartworm tests at the end of this week, and discuss further with my vet about appropriate investigation (thyroid panel), and if it is necessary based on how he is during the week.
I have a feeling that he has eaten something he shouldn't off the ground, possibly being a dropped thyroid pill out at the park.
He is back home with me, and feeling much better (and of course playing up the attention the IV bandage is getting him...haha).
Rose has always been a sweetie, but she was especially good this year. In January, she developed hyperthyroidism, so I have to give her a pill twice a day. Then in August, she developed diabetes, which means insulin shots twice a day along with the pill. Not an easy regimen for human or cat, but she seems to understand it's for her own good and doesn't put up too much of a fuss.
