I hadn't updated my blog in a while regarding Loki! He is doing well it seems.
The vet put him on the thyroid pills to block the thyroid production to make sure that was truly the issue and also to make sure there were not other hidden problems. So far so good. The pill pockets we got called Greenies are wonderful! He sits back on his back feet with front paws in the air begging for them.
We started out giving him a 1/2 a pill a day for 7 days. Then went to 1/2 a pill every 12 hours. We are on that for another few days before we bump it up to 1 whole pill every 12 hours. He seems to be adjusting well. I took this photo of him this morning. Today he has been pretty clingy and wanting more attention than usual so maybe he is having a slightly off day. The belly hair is still being licked but he isn't vomiting as much and his appetite has decreased, which is what these pills are supposed to do. So we are seeing progress. September 15th we will be taking him in for more bloodwork to see if the pills are truly correcting what they need to be correcting and that there arent any other issues. At that time we should be able to schedule his Kitty Chemo Camp. I gleaned a bit more information about it from the vet and they said he would have to be quarantined for 10 days after the procedure due to the radiation leaving his system. Poor little guy hates being alone and HATES closed doors. This will be a pretty traumatic situation for him. Also the bill is going to be a couple hundred more than we expected with all of the additional tests and the price of the treatment being more than the vet told us. So we still havent saved enough yet for him so if there is something in the shop you see that you like please know it is going towards a good cause. Our little Family truly appreciates all of the support we have received! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
