My cat is 14 years old and is being tested for Hyperthyroidism does anyone know what the symptoms are?

sammie-john asked:


My cat has been throwing up all the time and has dirreah she has lost a lot of weight and she has bad teeth so it is very hard for her to eat. I have to feed her mostly wet food and small amounts at the time. She also is being tested for diabetes. Her stomach sounds like it is churning all the time like someone with acid reflux. Please help. Thanks a lot.

    Throwing up and loose bowels are common symptoms. The good news is that it can usually be treated with medication. (My cat takes 1/4 pill per day and that should keep her stable.) I also had to switch her to Science Diet I/D (intestinal diet) to calm things down. She’s fine now.

    The most common reason for which hyperthyroid cats is weight loss. They are lean in the extreme and often have stopped grooming. Owners report that the cat is hyperactive and has a ravenous appetite despite remaining thin. They also tend to drink and urinate excessively. Other common complaints are vomiting, diarrhea and personality changes. These cats often detect a heart murmur, rapid heart rate, and scarred shrunken kidneys.

    My cat is 15 and has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. It’s very common in older cats. The main symptoms are excessive hunger, excessive thirst and weight loss. The only time that my cat experienced vomiting was when she was on medication for her hyperthyroidism. The is a permenant solution for the condition (no daily medications), but it’s pricey (roughly $1500). Check out for more information on the disease and treatment. Good luck with your cat.

    I have a 17 year old cat who my vet’s been wanting to do a “geriatric work-up” on for the past 10 years to “prolong his life.” He definitely has some health issues: He’s close to totally blind; he likes to cough up a daily hair ball, etc, but he’s still as lovable as always.

    I read on Pet connection.com about a thing about where people think it is coming from. ( Hyperthyriodism)
    The article is on the fourth page.

    “Reports suggests connection between flame Retardent feline Disease. ”

    Go read the article and it is very interesting because they were saying that indoor cats get it more then outdoor cats and it could be from a chemical that is in the foam that is under the carpet and in the dust that is the house. You will have to scroll down to see the aticles on each page and it is on about the 4th page. I hope this will help
