This week, I thought I would put a call into the Bellingham, WA community for people who have newly diagnosed hyperthyroid cats like Claude, a 16 year-old guy with kidney issues too. Instead of using a lot of methimazole and/or radiation, we are using herbs and a small dose of methimazole cream on the ears to control his symptoms. It’s been a year now and he is maintaining his weight, heart is stable.
