Well so far so good.......he's much less hyper, eating less and has put on a little but of weight. If this continues we are on to a winner. We are so lucky to have such an amazing vet...three cheers for Mr
Jackson :Luv2:

I would like some details too please Kirst? Beau is newly HT and although pilling him is not an issue (thanks to Liz's advice on pate balls  :thanks: )  it would be good to have an easy alternative if it becomes necessary.

My cat had this gel when he had hyperthyroidism and it worked well.Much better than pilling which upset him.Good luck with the treatment and hope it works well for your cat too.

So much easier than pilling! I hope that your little man does well with his treatment.

Interestingly, UK doctors are also years behind the US in treating thyroid problems  :(

a quick google suggests you must be one of the very first in the UK to be prescribed the gel, Kirst, although it has been widely used in the US for years

the  UK veterinary profession is so behind the times when it comes to HyperT, so congratulations and hope it does the trick for Fred

 Started it off today...ointment we have to rub onto his inner ear. Worked a charm, so much easier than pilling him! :Luv:
