So, the cat I thought had heart disease (breathing issues) instead might be developing hyperthyroidism because her thyroid is suddenly up to 3; and the cat I thought had hyperthyroidism (aggression, eating issues) instead has potential heart disease-a gallop rhythm and an increase in her CK value. Katharine will see the cardio in a couple weeks. And Baby will have her thyroid rechecked in a couple months unless she needs it sooner and will have an additional thyroid test done (which I'm sorry but I can't recall what was recommended) if that proves to still be high or higher.
Our cat Myrna Loy, born March 22, 2009, died of HCM 8/19/15. We will continue the blog and FB page. With five cats, we often have a variety of medical issues. Please share your information. Please check the Archives, Categories, Search, and Tabs for more information.
