Our cat Duchess, age about 10 yrs, had been chewing on plastic. We tried to stop it but then she started pulling the hair out of her tail. Duchess stopped eating and was taken to hospital last night. They said it was hyperthyroidism and gave us Fe
Hello. Yes, there are appetite stimulants that we often give to cats & I am sure your veterinarian is aware of this. Common ones are mirtazapine & cyproheptadine. Cerenia is often used just because it treats nausea, and a newer product called Entyce is being used extra-label in cats ( it is only approved for dogs right now, but the company is working on a cat application). One of the adverse effects with Felimazole is the possibility of loss of appetite. Sometimes discontinuing the medication for a few days & restarting at a lower dose gradually increasing to full dosage is necessary. Hopefully, Dutchess will be feeling better soon. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My cat has been prescribed 2.5 mg of Felimazole twice daily for hyperthyroidism. How long does the Felimazole stay active in the cat’s bloodstream? The reason for the question is that when I need to be away from, I have a cat sitter that comes in on
Hello. Felamizole generally stays in the system for 12 hours, but it is not uncommon to increase the dose when an owner will be away temporarily. It is best to start the 5mg once a day several days before you leave to see if you notice any difference in Mia, but I have recommended this in the past. Resume the twice daily 2.5 mg dose once you get home. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

We have a cat with a thyroid condition. He has to have medicine 2x a day but it is tough to hold him to give him the medicine. We have been giving it to him once a day by mouth but the Vet said that's not enough. He said that we could try radiation
You can use a transdermal gel to treat Max's thyroid condition. This gel is applied to the inner ear and is absorbed through the skin. Discuss this option as well as radioactive iodine Therapy with your veterinarian. There is a company in Stamford, Connecticut that performs the treatment.

I have a geriatric cat who’s on thyroid medication. Specifically, what canned food should I be giving her? As of now I’m giving her a half a can in the AM and the rest at night
She can eat just about anything she likes being hyperthyroid, as there are no specific diet recommendations for hyperthyroidism. As long as she continues her medication daily, then she can be on any senior diet food. that she likes. Some recommend high quality brands are Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, Eukanuba or Evo. Best of luck with your cat Stascha and her thryoid condition. Take care!

My 18 yr old male kitty has hyperthyroidism, as well as some renal failure. Does not take meds. Vet had us try Hill's Y/d formula, which he ate..but his demeanor is odd. Only sleeps and eats, shows no affection, no interest, as if he's had a lobotomy
No that is uncommon. Many cats do not do well with diet changes and he certainly had a poor reaction to the food. Continue with his old diet. If you are unable to give oral medication you can have the medication made into a gel that you can rub on the ear flap where it will be absorbed through the skin. A compounding pharmacy can do this for you. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Theo.
