Thank you all again. The vet called this morning and he definitely has hyperthyroidism. The norm is around 4 and his level is 15
. He had some protein in his urine but she didn't sound concerned. She's still worried about kidney disease after getting the thyroid under control even though she said they were working well. We're supposed to pick the medicine/prescription up tonight when Mom gets home and I'm hoping it's not outrageous because payday isn't until Friday and Mom sprung for the appointment. She's starting him out at 2.5mg and will check his levels in 2 weeks. Giving him 2 pills a day will be an adventure, to say the least!!
The prayers seem to be starting to work!
