Howdy guys! Back from out of town. Sorry I havent posted in a while. I have been catching up since taking about two weeks off and on b/c of Casey.

She is doing fine, and is eating everytime I present food. She is drinking on her own, and her blood work looks good. The abdominal fluid is less, and was a no-cancer type (so says the State labs).

The only thing the Vet is worrying about now is her weight loss. She has consistantly lost weight over the last month, and is now under her weight before all this happened.

He wants to treat her for her thyroid problem (6.4 on T4 test). She is on Methhimazole (10mg) three (3) times a day for about ten (10) days.

He wants to see if this will drop that number and get some weight up. Every morning she comes to get me and takes me to her food bowl where she eats an entire can of Fancy Feast. I hate wet cat food, but right now, Im gonna give her anything she will eat.

Thanks again for the concerns and advice. Will post again on FRI on her next Vet visit.

Doug: Please read post above. I took Casey to vet this week and her T4 re-examination and she scored "within specs" about .88 down from 4.7 I think. Her BUN, Crea, and ALT has been normal for a month now, and he said further test would be extraneous unless a change in her behavior.

Vet has had her on Metimazole (10mg) x3 a day. He wants it cut back to AM and PM and see her in 3 weeks.

Let me know what you think.

She is, IMHO back to normal. She has gained a half pound, but still a little skinny. She has a good appetite and a great personality again.

Thanks again for your and everyone else's help.!
