Older cat with hyperthyroidism. Having problems with regular medication

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I have an older calico cat and I recently brought her to my veterinarian for her annual checkup. She had lost two pounds from the year before and I didn’t even notice.

My veterinarian did some blood tests and told me that she has hyperthyroidism. He said this is very common in older cats and that she needed to start taking pills to control it.

I travel a lot and I’m not sure if I can give her the medication regularly.

Are there any other options?
