myrmepropagandist<p>The results from the vet for Pica came back. She has hyperthyroidism as we kind of suspected. This can be the cause of cats being hungry all the time and making a lot of noise (though it's hard since this is just how cats can tend to be)</p><p>Glad we have some idea what's going on. There are pills that can help. Giving Pica pills. Well. Not looking forward to THAT. But we will work it out together. She's almost 18, very active and bossy. I hope this helps her feel better. <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/catHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catHealth</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/PicaTheCat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PicaTheCat</span></a></p>

Sylvia<p>I need to share a little miracle. </p><p>I always thought that when cats got older, it was normal that they walked up the stairs slower etc. </p><p>And then I discovered our 13 year old cat suffers from arthritis. He is now on pain meds and I bought him glucosamine+ supplements. </p><p>The other day he raced up the stairs. That was the start of a new lease in life for my sweet boy. He now leaps again, jumps into laps and chases toys. </p><p>This makes me so happy <a href="https://social.lol/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/cathealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cathealth</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Caturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caturday</span></a></p>

Fliss<p>"Not the vets again?" asks Delilah. She's been 3 times this week but declared "almost certainly not diabetic" (thank goodness!), may have pancreatitis (but today that seems unlikely apparently) and has had a long lasting steroid given to see if it'll settle her stomach and stop her being sick. Keeping fingers crossed - it's worked for all of half a day so far. </p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Caturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caturday</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cat</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CatHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatHealth</span></a></p>
