In reply to the discussion: Leo died on Saturday [View all]diane in sf
(3,919 posts)9. My Midi kitty died a few months ago. Hyperthyroid being the underlying cause. For anyone
who has a cat who needs to take these pills, heres the easy way to do it. Just dissolve them into their food. Their food should be pretty wet to help with the kidney destruction caused by high blood pressure from the hyperthyroidism. The pills Midi had were very small and dissolved quickly. The prescription for him was a quarter pill 2x a day. He didnt seem to taste them. This is a lot easier than trying to jam pills into a cats mouth. He managed to live several years with this condition and I was able to prevent too much weight loss. He did pretty well until his last few weeks, but never seemed to be in pain, so he was able to die at home. It was a sad vigil, but peaceful.
