Methimazole (under several names) is the medicine to treat it. Tungsten had it as an ointment and I rubbed it into her ears twice a day. It was a very simple treatment and very effective.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404898691277040818.post-9179042576106453842016-02-15T09:55:00.687-08:002016-02-15T09:55:00.687-08:00Hi CJ!!

Get well soon. Our Buddy Budd developed HyperT in the past year. He is 16 (May be a year or two older) and on Methimazole twice a day his numbers went to normal. Now he is not eating but Mirtazepine helps. If considering this check the web as many have strong side effects with the vet dose. Buddy got 1/8 15mg tab for 4 doses and we just upped it to 1/4 tab. We give it by syringe as he is hard to pill. We pull the plunger out of the syringe, put a little piece in restore the plunger and suck up a cc or less of warm water. It dissolves easily with a few shakes with your finger on the end so none drips out. We have info on pills on our blog.

All had the condition stabilised with Methimazole first, then for all but one - Teddy who lived to be 22, developed Hyper T at 21 and wasn't up for the surgery, so he stayed on Methimazole. the others had surgery. All cats did well with the drug and the ones who had the surgery did well, except for Thomas, who never regained all the weight he lost, but he did live well after the op.<br /><br />We wish you all the best little CJ and are purring for you<br /><br />Luff<br />Mungo & JetEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404898691277040818.post-52900145491662616972016-02-15T02:52:47.125-08:002016-02-15T02:52:47.125-08:00Dear CJ........I'm 16 and have hyperthyroidism...Dear CJ........I'm 16 and have hyperthyroidism. I take methimazole and have done so for almost a year now. I don't like the taste of it but Mom puts it in baby food (yum) and I lap it right up after she's crushed the pill in! Lots of cats do well on the special food but I wouldn't eat it. It's just finding the RIGHT thing that works for you dear CJ and I hope and pray that you, your Mom and your vet can figure that out. It's not fun feeling yucky but you will be just fine I'm sure.

Jenny had hyperthyroid for years. She was truly a feral cat who lived inside, and we couldn't medicate her. But we would smash the pills up in tuna juice every day, and she received her meds that way for years. She lived over 19 years, and never had any other health issues, other than kidney issues when she got to be about 17. But we still couldn't medicate her, so she just kept getting the smashed up methimazole in tuna juice. That is why we all like tuna. We received tuna daily because of Jenny, and we still receive it daily because we are used to getting it!<br /><br />From all of us at Forty Paws and MawForty Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415628551202920818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404898691277040818.post-25827721466952148662016-02-14T20:05:05.755-08:002016-02-14T20:05:05.755-08:00Our thoughts and purrs to you, CJ!

She had a partial parathyroid removal at 12 but it only worked for a few years and is no longer recommended. She tolerated the methimazole very well. <br /><br />Our 12 year old, Leo, has it now. Iodine treatment was not recommended because he has had megacolon in the past and the iodine treatment can be upsetting to the system if there are any other issues. So...he went on methimazole bit did not tolerate it well. Severe diarrhea and ibsd. He now rotates a few weeks of methimazole and a few weeks of steroids.

She would not take the liquid med and I could not get a pill down her. So we opted for the ear gel applied with a felt tip applicator and she did very well. She passed from idiopathic hypercalcimia. But her thyroid was under control.
