The vet just called and said that her thyroid is seriously high. She had been well controlled so it could be that her body isn’t tolerating the medicine any longer. I have to be diligent in medicating her, we can’t skip the weekends anymore. Her potassium is low and that will make her feel bad. I have to go back and het potassium added to her bag of fluids. She will get another dose of fluids over the weekend and then on a weekly basis. In about 3 weeks we will need to have her blood work checked to see how her thyroid is responding. Hopefully things will fall into place. Her kidney values don’t look too shabby at this point.
Hopefully she stops being so picky and will eat for me, that along with the fluids and medicine will help get her back to normal or so I hope. Thyroid disease is serious and if it’s giving out on her and not well controlled she is predisposed to stroke amongst other things. Right now it’s just a wait and see game, which I am not fond of. I am cautiously optimistic but still very much guarded and waiting to exhale if that makes sense.
Please keep us in your thoughts.
