An aside; My cat had Hyperthyroidism and just returned from having her thyroid gland removed. Everything went well and her calcium levels are in the normal range. She was hard to pill and surgery was probably the best choice for her. She is very clingy now and has eaten(licked up the fancy feast gravy) very good for the first couple of hours home. Her voice is still faint and she requires I lay on the couch now...
You are a good kitty parent. Kuddos. Your kitty is lucky to have you!
