futures Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Buffy has thyroid problems! she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 years ago (until then i really had no idea that that could be a problem in cats, though i guess duh obviously they have a thyroid too) and had surgery to have her thyroid removed! they gave us three options: surgery to remove it and effectively cure her, meds to regulate it for the rest of her life, or a radioactive iodine treatment at some place in Maryland. the meds were out because there's no way in hell i'd force feed that cat pills every day, the radioactive treatment was extremely expensive AND she has a kitty panic attack just going to the vet's, and it requires the cat to stay there for up to 10 days, so THAT was out. so surgery it was! and knock on wood, she's still kicking at almost 16! Aww! She doesn't need any meds post-surgery? In humans if you have hyper/Graves and you have a thyroidectomy, you're automatically hypo and require meds to supplement. Andy is hyper, too. He got really really skinny out of nowhere and he's always been a tiny cat. He was already declawed and used to be an outdoor cat before Erik's parents moved and he would get beat up because he's so small. I'm not sure how he's being treated though... I'm assuming by medication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Shane Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Damn. So probably not a great idea to send a $50 record to the UK without tracking to a member with 0 feedback. Dammit. Are you gonna bring stuff to the states to ship when you come like you did last time? I may pick up that TROW LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming by medication. she had to take meds for a week or two after her surgery until her body learned to compensate for things, the vet said. yeah, buff is tiny (only 8 lbs) to begin with and got really skinny but was eating EVERYTHING. like, we couldn't leave anything out on the counters, or she would jump up and eat it. she'd try to steal food right out of our hands if we were eating. we thought she was just being bad, but she was actually starving all the time even when she was eating everything :[ then we felt super bad for scolding her, haha. she also started drinking more, so we thought she might be diabetic at first, but the vet knew right away. we also didn't realize how scruffy her coat had gotten until after her surgery and it got nice and fluffy soft again. (she feels your 'my hair sucks because of my thyroid' pain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to shoot him twice a day. He was always stoked on it because shots = food is coming lol. Then he went blind because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i think i posted a video of him doing this awhile ago on IG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skadaddy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It was so slow in here today, I posted in the Blink/Blank/Blonk thread. No one got my Nerf Herder/Cherry Hill/Nose Ring Girl reference, so I think I will just admire the cat gifs from afar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danionly Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's pretty much: "Oh we have an established thread for Mondo releases? Well I don't like that. I want separate threads per release because I don't feel like following the thread and getting notifications. You guys are just elitist because I can't get what I want. I'm just going to make ridiculous threads to piss and moan about it some more." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
