hi, you don't knownme from a hole in the head, but i have hyperT4 knowledge and: the bad kidneys is more a result of the damage a hyperT4 metabolism does than the meds itself & how the body copes with regressing from that the actually drug is essentially the same no matter the route, pills are easier to dose correctly surgery can work well but there are risks & it's best done on medically stabilised patients finally, there's also radiotherapy treatment for hyperT4 :)

"further to our previous discussion of this topic..." is my stand in for asking clients if their dog could email me instead, because it'd probably be a more productive use of everyone's time

At least in your line of work there’s a certain logic to the dog being more helpful.

yeah, treatment options for hyperthyroidism have really come on in leaps & bounds (insert the muttering here about how i've been an RVN for too long ahaha), & and radioiodine treatment is deffo the least invasive & most comprehensive - some cats, being cats, can develop thyroid tissue other than in the gland, which the radioiodone will also treat (as will the pills) but surgery won't. :)

OMG they can develop thyroid tissue in places other than their actual thyroid glands?! CATS, MAN. CATS. so complicated.

potatoes and soon to be mangel-wurzels around here!

My only problem with the potato harvest is that a fully laden trailer has a top speed of 19 miles per hour uphill and 35 miles per hour downhill, and there’s no room to overtake them on the first eight miles of my commute.

Yes. *proceeds to eat 3 rashers of bacon & a variety box of rice krispies for dinner*

it'd have been about 90% cuter at least!

the yorkshire vet, by any chance? (i will hish b/c i have opinions on some of their vetting (gloves. put on some surgical gloves for the love of-!)

i wish i could say i've not heard similar ridiculousness, but i'd be telling fibs /o\

The vet just said nothing because he was on camera, but you could tell he was thinking this is why you keep your rabbits in a nice safe run you daft cow and was not at all impressed by her veganistic insistence on freedom. Freedom nearly killed the rabbit.
