Diagnosis is in on Maggie - hyperthyroidism

I wanted to let you know we received test results on Maggie today and they show that she has hyperthyroidism, a common endocrine problem among older cats.

Here are some of the symptoms that make sense with the diagnosis:

- Extreme weight loss

- increased food consumption

- increased water consumption

- unkempt hair coat

I think she's had many of these symptoms for a few years and it just went undiagnosed.

We'll be able to treat this with medication, but it won't cure the problem and will have some side effects.

I included a photo taken about of us days after we brought Savannah home from the hospital... Savannah now chases Maggie and I can't get the two of them in a photo together.

Thanks for you kind words.
