Tinkerbell came in for a revisit to repeat her blood test. She has been started on medication to treat her hyperthyroidism. She has gained weight which is a good sign. She always tries to hide in the hope that I won't notice her.
After being discovered as a kitten in Lawrence, Kansas, Charlie spent his first two years bouncing from home to home and in and out of shelters to finally land at my door. He started it all. Charlie survived diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and was finally taken by kidney failure after several years of management. I miss him so much!
My cat Asta once again being somewhere she's not allowed. She's sitting on a box of medication I have to give her for her hyperthyroidism. Do you think she's trying to tell me something?
Objectives for this presentation:
1. Identify the behavioral clinical signs associated with hypothyroidism in dogs.
2. Identify the behavioral clinical signs associated with hyperthyroidism in cats.
3. Recognize the supportive diagnostic tests to determine if the behavior is related to thyroid dysfunction.
4. Understand the pertinent client education information for the various thyroid medications
5. Relay the pertinent client education information for behavioral modification in order to provide the best nursing and supportive care for the patient.
She's doing ok. She still has some bad times, but right now she's doing much better. Here's an interesting story here about hyperthyroidism in cats:

Hyperthyroidism is now considered the most common endocrine disorder in cats (Stortz, et al., 2004).
Deliah was not as super outgoing as the other cats, but every bit as friendly. Her style was not to loudly meow at passers-by, but to quietly get off her chair and walk over to them and hope they noticed her. Sometimes she greeted visitors in her soft-spoken meow. At 8 years old, she was passed over for all the people who wanted kittens. During her long wait to be adopted, she developed hyperthyroidism and was killed due to lack of resources and funding on all parties involved. No one from the public stepped in to save her. Rest in peace, Deliah. I know no apology will ever do, but I am so damn sorry.
My poor little kitty, who has suffered from hyperthyroidism, heart and liver problems, has finally passed on today. He was 16 years old, but he was my bestest kitty bud. I miss him terribly.
Fred's final outdoor visit. He used to be an indoor/outdoor kitty, so he's always enjoyed the outdoors.
Nothing really worth remembering happened Thursday. I kept hurting my finger. My boss is still on vacation so people keep confounding me with things way above my paygrade. The best was my artists in India asking me if they could have my bosses cell number. When I said no because she's in France, they were all "so we can't contact her?"
But Thursday is the day that I found out my cat has hyperthyroidism. She's 15 years old, and in many ways one of my oldest friends. Now I have to figure out how I would like to pursue treating her because she is such a senior kitty.
Do you think they might have given him too large a dose of I-131 last week?
I couldn't resist doing this to a photo of Cuffy, though of course he doesn't glow in the slightest. He is still radioactive, and we're following all these guidelines and state regulations for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully the treatment will have solved his hyperthyroidism once and for all.
He had to stay at the hospital for 3 1/2 days until his radioactivity reached a certain point, which was not popular with any of us.
He was very, very happy to come home, and we were happy to have him home. I'll be even happier when his appetite returns to normal (trying not to worry too much)

(Em - "a little hyperthyroid actually...")
If I'd known just how easily the dye rubbed off, this is the last thing I'd have done!
One of the side-effects of his hyperthyroidism is noticeably increased interactivity. He's constantly underfoot, climbing on us, and demanding attention (and food) That's not the Cuffy I've lived with for the last 14 years, and once his thyroid returns to a more even keel, he'll probably return to a somewhat less interactive Cuffy. That's okay--he can be whoever he is.
The hyperthyroid aster and the Cecile Brunner (sweetheart) rosebush that wasn't any bigger than my right thumb back after the cold snap in April.
So how are you?? I dk I just figured Id tell you whats going on around here. Around Christmas Mrs Kitty fell and she hurt her leg. We wanted to take her to the vet but she seemed to get better. Well then yesterday she was acting totally weird and she fell again and she couldn't walk at all. So we called the nearest vet that was open on weekends which was like 30 minutes away. Well we brought her to the vet under the impression that she would probably need to be put down. This was all at like 8pm btw. Anyways the vet basically said there is nothing really physically wrong with her but she said she probably had diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cancer, kidney failure... and that it would cost a lot of money for test and meds and stuff. She said we could bring her home and just watch her suffer basically. Well we talked to the vet and she agreed that it would probably be best if we put her down because there really wasn't any point to go through all the test and stuff when no matter what she had there was nothing really we could do.
Yeah out of everyone my dad took it the absolute hardest =(

This is "The Cat" Meyers. The Cat developed hyperthyroidism and shrunk down to a skinny old cat in no time flat. His owners opted to go to LSU for the I131 thyroid ablation, where after doing a special scan to see where all the extra thyroid hormone is coming from, they gave a dose of radioactive iodine, which would be taken in by the overactve cells who would die in the process. He's doing great back at home!
Had to be the proud mom. She is gaining weight and looking healthier. She enjoys yelling at us a lot. We keep telling her we can't understand cat. The vet let us know that all her tests came back clean aside from the chance of hyperthyroidism.
Your thyroid gland plays a very important role in your body, and while no precise food or supplement can treat a thyroid disorder, there are a few things worth saying that can optimise it’s function.
The thyroid gland is at the front of the neck and controls your metabolism, cholesterol and calcium levels in your blood, your body temperature, you brain development and the heart and nervous system.
Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, ensues when the thyroid does not generate and release enough thyroid hormones. It can slow down your metabolism, causing unwanted weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, concentration problems, dry skin, lowered libido, menstrual disturbances and low moods.
Hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, ensues when the thyroid generates too much thyroid hormones. This can quicken your body's metabolism, causing inadvertent weight loss and a rapid or uneven heartbeat.
It is vital to follow a healthy balanced diet that restricts processed foods, and is rich in fruit and vegetables, protein, pulses, wholegrains, fluids and healthy fats.
Below are some nutrients that can assist you in keeping your thyroid glands healthy.
Iodine
Iodine is crucial for standard thyroid function, as thyroid hormones are made out of iodine.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and bone health. Vitamin D sources include oily fish, eggs, UV treated mushrooms and invigorated foods.
Selenium
