It is a week since his operation and I can report that he has gained .6 of a kilo which is about a pound in weight
also his heart rate was fast which a symptom of hyperthyroid and when we took him to see Ian his heart rate is back to normal
I am amazed with his recovery so far in one week
Ian is delighted
he is so calm now and I think he is confused that he feels differently he gets all agitated for food and then calms down immediately
he has got digestive issues which we will look at further down the road
Ian says this is also part of the thyroid issues
thanks everyone
I will probably not be around as much so Happy New Year

Way to go Titch. It must feel strange not to feel over hyper all the time... you did good Jean and Titch will be a happier puss from now on. Val | |

Current weight 21.7 lbs (4/13), solid member of the Chunky Monkey Club! Ideal weight around 17, I think, but she's not obese at this weight, so maybe 17 is a little low.

Tylan currently 1x/day. Also takes 1/2 tablet pepcid for stomach upset 2x/day. Primal Defense probiotics 1/8 tsp, 3x/week. Getting bi-weekly B-12 shots.

I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.
