I'm scared. This isn't about Tila or Odie. This can be moved, if it needs to be. My cat Simba has hyperthyroidism, we found out two years ago and he's been on medication since then, he goes in about every four months to check his T4 levels and they usually run tests to check his kidney and liver function. In about the last month he's lost some more weight, he's been drooling a lot. He still eats, but has been having a little trouble with the dry, he prefers wet and drinks a lot of water which the vet said would be normal increased thirst. I checked his mouth tonight because he was drooling and his mouth looked a little discolored. His spit is like slimy. When we went in for the first time and found out he had hyperthyroidism we went over what would be the best course of action and decided that surgery and radioactive iodine treatment were out, we went the route of medication every day. We talked about teeth cleaning, but the vet did not think it was a good idea because she did not think that he could handle the anaesthesia, because of his health and age. Simba is 15, not that old. I'm just worried about him, I'm taking him in tomorrow for testing and a check over, so they can check his mouth. I'm just worried about what can be done, if he needs something done with his teeth, the vet didn't want to put him under...I'm just worried.
Simba has been a part of my life for so long, it's hard to see him go through things and I know pets don't live forever, it's hard to imagine what it would be like without them around. I'm hoping for the best and will find out tomorrow what's happening.
