Yeah the only other form of treatment really is radioiodine therapy, which is for the most part a cure, but it’s expensive and your cat has to be in quarantine for about 5 days. I chose that route because my boy doesn’t tolerate meds well and his hyperthyroidism is new and he doesn’t have a lot of symptoms yet (just…

Lol I feel you I have 4 1o month old kittens and 3 6 month old kittens and they basically eat 24/7. I can’t really think of any LID rabbit food other than some of the more expensive brands like Ziwipeak which has a rabbit and lamb wet food. I actually make rabbit raw food i buy whole ground rabbit from a company…

Yeah, he was recently diagnosed a few weeks ago. His T4 isn’t that high so I’m hopeful that his tumor is small and he wont need much radioiodine. He doesn’t have a lot of symptoms either he actually gained some weight (which surprised the vet when his T4 came back high). I am not going to try medication just going…

Yeah he has to stay for around 4 days including admit and discharge, which I’m sad about but I did a lot of research and this is the best way to treat him. Funny that not much has changed in all the years they’ve been doing this treatment for cats (since the 80s). The place I’m taking him too (which is 6 hrs from…

You could try a limited ingredients wet food diet. It’s better quality than RX foods and much cheaper. Both Merrick and Nature’s Variety make good LID foods. A lot of people with cats that have food allergies go those route rather than feeding RX food which isn’t really that great. You could also look into making your…

Feed a higher quality food. Low quality kibble is all carbs and nothing useful for cats. They’re obligate carnivores. more meat, less everything else.

Is his thyroid under control? My senior was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and we’re going to do radioiodine treatment next month.

A year ago I started researching cat food when my oldest cat started vomiting his kibble and it completely changed the way I feed and care for my cats. I moved almost all my cats to raw food that I make myself combined with some high quality canned and a little high quality kibble for snacking (mostly for my oldest…

Amen! I wish more people knew that cats are obligate carnivores and need meat and not all that other weird stuff in most foods (not that this information is freely given by vets anyway). Chubby kitties are a result of a carby low quality kibble diet. I feed mine mostly raw now, but some wet food to supplement.

Cats basically don’t chew their food so it’s a myth that kibble actually helps their teeth. If you’ve ever had a cat vomit up kibble you’ll notice it’s almost all in whole pieces.

Truth! Cats are obligate carnivores. So more meat less everything else. I wish pet food companies would stop being so shitty and loading kibble with carbs and weird stuff cats don’t need. My kitties eat mostly raw, but lord it isn’t cheap.

I have 10 cats and a dog! It’s the best.

I’m excited! Outlander is my guilty pleasure.

This is what I don’t get. So you bought a bunch of shitty, gross food with coupons? Like ??? I don’t even shop at stores that have coupons, mostly.

Nope. My mom has a different name than me and my sibling, she re-married, didn’t take my step-dad’s name, so our family has several different last names and no one is confused, its not weird, I didn’t have any issues with it as a kid.

I give my cats a probiotic every day mixed in their morning meal. It’s really good for cats, especially kittens that have sensitive stomachs and are prone to diarrhea.

I like this idea, and I think people should use it in addition to microchipping, but I won’t use it on my cats because none of them will wear collars. One of mine was indoor/outdoor for a short period of time when i picked her up as a stray and i put multiple collars on her that disappeared nearly every day. I don’t…

You mean -an asshole person.

All that happens when artists do this is people just torrent the album more. At least when they release it on streaming services they’ll get paid something for it. 25 leaked on a bunch of torrent sites already, and the iTunes version will show up shortly too, I’m sure.

I really don’t know why marriage = forever. Nothing wrong with getting married, it didn’t work out, get divorced. Hell some break ups when you aren’t married are harder than some divorces. People really need to let go of the fantasy element of marriage.
