The vet's assistant called and said vet was in surgery and will call later. She did give me some info of Casey's visit to the Vet yesterday to have her IV leg catheter taken out and blood test.

FRIDAY 18 MAR 05
BUN=94, CREA=2.86, ALT =104

TUESDAY, 22 MAR 05 BUN=47.8, CREA=2.75, ALT = 99

Bad news is that her T-4 exam came back and gave a 4.6 result (overactive thyroid).

I could have sworn that my mother (whom took Casey to the vet while I was in Kansas City yesterday) said that the vet said she had a tumor on her thyroid.

What is my best and worse case scenario with this new development?

Anyways, Casey was hydrated via SUB-Q this AM since her leg catather was not working in her veins.

She is also not eating anything I put in front of her, but she acts very interested in eating and is laying beside her food bowl with about a spoonfull of everything in the bowl (teaspoon of chicken baby food, tspn of friskies tuna, tspn of a/d cat food, dry cat food, etc). I am about to force feed now since it has been 14 hours since last force feed. Vet has again, switched her from k/d back to a/d cat food since it is supposed to be better for her and her kidney numbers look better.

Still not out of the woods yet. Lots of purring, peeing, and pooping, but no eating.

Thanks for all support, advice, and prayers!

Chris (still worried).
