His bloods came back yesterday, his values have gone from 76 to 45, so we are continuing with one tablet a day, and he doesn't need bloods doing for another 4 months (although I am tempted to keep with the monthly weigh ins) - I assume his levels will stablise, as they are back in the normal range now. Will be interesting to see if he is sick in a couple of weeks, as he was when 2 a day was too high. I didn't ask about long term contol, as my vet is leaving in a couple of weeks and the next vet might have a different opinion altogether, especially with his mouth. Still no idea of why he is so demanding with food now - he even followed me into my neighbours house last night and waited for me to leave for his tea, then I popped back and he sat on the windowsill cos he hadn't had his meds (he just thinks of the treat he gets, fortunately, and knows the rattle of the bottle means something tasty!!). I am going to pick up a wormer for him, in case that helps, but maybe he just feels better in himself, although their appetite is supposed to go the other way - he wasn't like this before diagnosis though. The other thing the vet said is that there could be something else going on - he did have dodgy liver values before, but we have just focused on his thyroid for the last two tests.
BM - Zia would love more food, but she has a nasty mum!! She is now the lightest cat, but to look at her you wouldnt think it. I dont want her to put too much more on though cos of her arthritis. The main battle with her has been the fact she doesnt really like wet food, I am lucky if I get a quarter of a pouch down her twice a day, but now Kizzy has gone, she has to have adult food, as Molly lost too much weight on senior food only.
