Hi there, my name’s Kitty and I’m a13-year-old female. I was first brought to the Mayhew after a member of my family became allergic to me.
When I first arrived at the Mayhew I was quite underweight and my eyes had lost a bit of their sparkle, but nowadays, after a bit of special care and attention, I’m feeling much better and looking beautiful again. I’m no spring kitten but I’m certainly not past it yet!
I’m a lovely cat and a real pleasure to be around. I crave human attention and I enjoy nothing more than spending my time with someone, sharing the love and having a nice relaxing nap!
But I’m not too old to have fun and I do like a nose around in the garden and the odd game here and there – it keeps me feeling youthful! My favourite toy is a simple feather and I can chase it around my cabin just as well as my younger feline friends!
I’m a very well-behaved and undemanding puss, my only real requirement is for plenty of love and affection. I’m looking for a kindred spirit in my owner: someone who lives a calm and laid-back life but remains young at heart, just like myself!
I really don’t enjoy feline company and would need to go to a home without existing cats. Although I feel well in myself I am hyperthyroid therefore my new only will need to continue with the medication I’m currently receiving.
My guy Kid (often referred to as THE DUDE) is getting his feline hyperthyroid treatment in the Mesa Arizona office in August 29! With the help of a number of wonderful friends, we have raised the money through his blog: mycatthedude.blogspot.com which has documented his journey and will continue through his recovery.A grumpy guy, but the light of my life! I am a pet portrait painter and he is my muse.Debra Jones
Spike Mulligan is a 12 year old DSH tabby and white kitty. Spike Mulligan is a very affectionate and cute little guy. He is very personable, and spends most of his day in the reception room here at Tree House. He gets along with the other cats. He has recently been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. He takes a daily pill. He is very easy to pill!
ADOPTED!
Rusty is facing some big changes. She has hyperthyroidism for which there are several treatments. We are starting, on Monday, 2 doses/day of a chicken flavoured liquid medication. There will be more bloodwork (I will keep bloodwork to a strict minimum) in three weeks and then we will take it from there. To date she is affectionate and happy. I have my fingers crossed that she likes the chicken flavoured stuff.
Mom sent some Friskies Party Mix in her holiday care package. The idea that cats need their own party mix is a little disturbing, as is the psycho kitty pictured on the package. But Aremid, with his hyperthyroidism not under control, could use all the calories he can get, and he loves the Party Mix. And the Target bag that Mom's goodies came in.
A thyroid gland that makes excessive amounts of thyroid hormone, is known as hyperthyroidism. The hormones responsible for regulating metabolism and calcium balance are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The condition is caused by abnormal production of these hormones. Attributing diseases that exacerbate hyperthyroidism are Grave’s Disease, and Thyroiditis. Symptoms and severity are symbiotic, as the gland increases in size, symptoms worsen.

Dennis Says: “Though I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, my wife and I both sure did want to get rid of my belly. As you can see T----m really did the trick. Thanks F------e!”
This is Charlie.
Some Charlie facts:
- He is one of our three cats.
- He is 14 years old.
- He's had hyperthyroid for the last 7 years.
- He gets half a pill twice a day.
- He's lost a lot of weight recently.
- He's a major pain in the ass when he wants to eat.
- He doesn't pay me much attention since Abby came home from the hospital almost two years ago.
Bonkers, looking positively fat (he's very skinny now due to hyperthyroidism) was the second cat we got after we move to the States in 1999.
Poor Victor saw the vet today for an EKG. His heart murmur rates 2 out of 6 and the EKG is normal - yeah! They also took blood to test for hyperthyroidism, though it's pretty unlikely in a 3.5 year old cat. Most likely, he'll simply let his heart murmur at the vet lady every year for a good, long time :-)
Marley, shown here, is my cat. He's about 13 years old, and has been my cat for 12 of them. This picture was taken 2 days before he was to go in to get his teeth cleaned. This procedure required him to put put under general anesthesia, which was a risk in this case due in part to his age, but also in part to the fact that he has hyperthyroidism (which we've had under control for about a year now). So, going into the procedure, we were worried that he might not survive.
The vet dentist, upon examining him, was much more optimistic - the tartar buildup wasn't terrible, and there seemed to be a minimal chance of tooth extractions. He also felt that Marley was healthy enough that the risks were minimal. We were quite relieved to hear the news.
Marley did survive (which, given the initial assessment, seemed a no-brainer to us), and is happy to be back at home. He managed to throw the vet dentist a real curve ball though - it seems as though he had developed a cavity -- something virtually unheard of in cats. So along with a cleaning, Marley also got a filling.
The thyroid gland is a small organ
Situated in the anterior part of the neck.
It can affect your whole body
if your thyroid doesn't function properly.
If too much thyroid hormone is released to
your body, a disorder called hyperthyroidism may develop.
If too little thyroid hormone is
produced by your body, that's called hypothyroidism.
Both conditions are extreme and the
healthcare provider has to handle them.
Jake foreground, Bailey back.
They are going to the Vet tomorrow at 1130, for their annual vaccinations, blood tests and a check ups.
I am WORRIED about JAKE. ( this is the primary reason I have made this appointment) He is loosing hair on the outside of both ears and is ALWAYS hungry and wanting to eat. ( more than normal)
I hope he is not hyperthyroid! I will insist on blood work for both.
I'll keep you all posted.
is endemic to Palani Hills only
Biophytum intermedium var. pulneyense Edgew. & Hook.f.
is a synonym of Biophytum intermedium Wight
It is an herbal Antithyroid medication for hyperthyroidism.
Toby is going on 17 and still one super strong and stubborn boy. He always swipes me as soon as I displease him. Gotta respect his honesty! lol :-)
It was dark, so I held my finger over the flash which produced this red haze. I thought it was appropriately sad looking.
Skittles moved in when her loving family had to move overseas. She had congestive heart failure likely caused by severe hyperthyroidism. Kidney failure ultimately took her life.
While at the Feline Hyperthyroid Treatment Center, your pets eliminations must be collected and stored for three months before being disposed of.
Our Japanese Maple goes all hyperthyroid with the color thing every November. It's of a variety called "Sherwood's Flame," which is why my dear, dear, dear wife bought it several years ago.
It's planted in the decaying stump of a virgin-forest sequoia sempervirens, of which there are multitudes here in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
My little man is in the kitty hospital being treated for hyperthyroidism, but I get to watch him via a webcam. I love living in the future.
I'm taking Zen for his yearly check up in the morning. They will do blood work. I suspect he will come back hyperthyroid. He's been feeling a little better the past week, week and a half and I'm not sure why.
Debbie says: “Thanks to T-----m, I am back in my size 5 jeans that have been pushed to the back of my closet for 7 years. This is a dream come true for a 50 year old grandmother.”
Ubi went in for radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroid today. He'll be in quarantine at the animal hospital until the radioactivity in his system drops to acceptable levels (about five days).
Honey was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism this week. It doesn't seem to be a grave problem right now, but she began medication to suppress her thyroid hormone production and she'll be going to the vet frequently for monitoring.

Somebody found 16 year old Sabrina wandering in the park with a broken leg and took her to the city shelter. They set her leg and kept her safe but she was slated to be put down tomorrow. So we asked them to pull her and bring her to Bushwick! She'll recuperate and settle into the household in due time. She's already purring and making herself at home! She's got hyperthyroidism, dental disease and her eyes seem a little cloudy, too. Should keep us busy for a while! @nycacc @nycurgentcats #helpSabrina #seniorcat #oldladycat bit.ly/2UDzbXF
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.
Rori almost died last week, that's why I haven't been commenting and posting much. She's almost 17.
It seems that either her hyperthyroid condition or her hyperthyroid medicine caused her to have high blood pressure which resulted in a host of problems. She's better now, but I'm not sure how much longer she'll last.
We buried Theo, Rex guinea pig. He suffered compilations after surgery. He woke up and starting eating but next morning vet called to say he had seizures. He was subdued and died hours later. Hyperthyroidism treatment for guinea pigs rarely happen. I still haven’t heard if any pig survived the illness and surgery, searches online in vain. May God bless Theo and take care of him. Just recalling how Theo squeaked and asked for treats on Monday morning, how he was gone next day...
Janet says: “Believe me when I say I have tried every diet on the market. T-----m is by far the easiest and most effective weight loss program I have ever been on.”
The best animal I've ever had. He's a Norwegian Forest Cat, but I didn't know that until about a year ago.
He's 11 years old. Back then I lived in a large apartment complex. One night I went outside to toss the trash in the HUGE dumpster and I realized I could hear a kitten crying in it. Someone had put him in a paper bag and taped it shut, then thrown it in the dumpster.
He has always been extraordinary. He behaves like a baby; he likes to hug and kiss and always wants to be with people. He also knows how to open doors, cabinets and drawers - which the dog hasn't even figured out.
When he was younger he used to like to box. He'd stand up on his hind legs and (with retracted claws!) box people! Well, more like whack people. If you whacked his paws back (like a boxer) it was all the better! He'd get so into it the kids would even get sick of it, but he'd still want to do his little dance around the kids on his hind feet and try to get them to box with him.
But he hasn't done that for several years and now he's become ill. He has hyperthyroidism. I expect he'll live another 10 years though... I have to hope at least.
Skittles moved in when her loving family had to move overseas. She had congestive heart failure likely caused by severe hyperthyroidism. Kidney failure ultimately took her life.
As with the hypothyroid patient, There is no single blood test that is definitive for hyperthyroidism. The hormonal tests must be interpreted together with the history, physical exam and the other clinical findings. TT4 and T T3
are tests that are recommended for a “quick” diagnosis (Stortz, et al., 2004). Occasionally, these results are within normal range when the cat is hyperthyroid. If the veterinarian still suspects hyperthyroid, then fT3 and TRH can be performed to help support the diagnosis.
TT4 =Total thyroxine
TSH= thyroid stimulating hormone
TT3 = Total Triiodothyronine
fT3= Free Triiodothyronine
TRH= Thyrotropin releasing hormone
Remember, these tests should not be used as the sole means of diagnosis. These tests are supportive diagnostic tests used in conjunction with the clinical signs and other laboratory tests.

..and I am taking a little flickr break. I don't want to miss people's pics, and Arthur and I will be back as soon as possible to catch up on 365.
Charlotte has been a beloved pet since I was an undergrad at the UW. She has been diabetic for about four years and now has hyperthyroidism and cardiac disease. Her condition can only deteriorate soon, and because of the likelihood of neuropathic pain, chronic stress from her heart "gallop" and the torqued-up but hollow feeling caused by hyperactive thyroid, I've decided to arrange for home euthanasia within the next week or two. I am terrible at dealing with things like this, even though we all have to deal with them.
I hope to be back with you all and looking at your lovely photos again soon! (Once I get my head screwed back on.)
Cuffy is headed to the spa tomorrow morning, where he'll spend the next four or so days before coming back home. Actually, it's the kitty hospital, to get his I-131 treatment, and he'll be home as soon as his radioactivity reaches safe levels. Even two weeks after coming home we have to take special precautions--no extended lap-sitting, and we have to hang onto his soiled litter for two weeks for the radioactivity to break down before throwing it away.
Poor little boy--I HATE him being gone because I'm afraid he'll hate it. But it's the gold standard of treatments, and allegedly cures hyperthyroidism, so that little problem will be fixed. Of course we'll still have his kidney disease to contend with, but one thing at a time...
I bought him matching kitty beds and have been keeping one of them in the laundry basket to soak up our scents. One of them goes with him to the kitty spa so he'll have something from home with him. They throw that out when he leaves, since it'll be radioactive, but he'll come home to the other identical one. This gold one is the keeper--the silver one (not shown :) goes with him tomorrow,
Cats have a reputation for being low maintenance pets and, in some ways, they are. But many pet parents don’t realize their cats still need regular vet care in order to keep them healthy and happy. It’s recommended that all cats have annual check ups and for senior cats (10 years and older) bi-annual visits are encouraged because many diseases begin in middle age and problems in older cats tend to accelerate more quickly. National Take Your Cat to the Vet Week, sponsored by Feline Pine All-Natural Cat Litter, is August 16-22, 2010 and vets across the country are joining in to help raise awareness about the importance of these annual visits for cats. According to a recent survey, fewer than 50 percent of cat parents take their cat to the vet annually. The problem with this is that most people don’t pick up on small indications that something is wrong with their cat. Because cats are typically subtle in their signs that they are in pain or discomfort, diseases or illnesses can go undetected for months, sometimes years. Annual vet visits can pinpoint issues before they progress. According to Veterinary Pet Insurance, the top 10 reasons why cats are brought to the veterinarian are: • Lower urinary tract disease• Stomach inflammation/gastritis• Renal disease• Intestinal inflammation/diarrhea• Allergies• Diabetes• Colitis/constipation• Ear infections• Upper respiratory tract infections• Hyperthyroidism. Most of these problems, if treated early, can be cured, brought into remission or managed so that your cat enjoys a good quality of life. In addition, the cost of early treatment can be significantly less than if a problem is left too long.
So make your appointment today and enjoy peace of mind and a happier, healthier cat.

Here is Grover rearing up to get a piece of herb turkey from Whole Foods. He just had his second insulin shot for the day.
Carmine is eating turkey too! You can get the ends of turkey from Whole Foods for cats and dogs for really cheap. Just ask for the ends, kitty and doggie treats...
Carmine is 16 and has been in great health, Grover is 15 and has been treated with radiation for hyperthyroidism at RADCATS, is on sub-cu fluids for possible CRF and now insulin.
I am happy to say that Grover is still kitten-like in his appearance and behavior. Carmine is extremely active and demanding.
I will show more photos of Gomez 14 and Gino 13 and Lorelei 4-ish so you get a picture of the whole feline family.
