Six months ago Hershey was having some challenges with feline hyperthyroidism along with elevated liver enzymes.  Lately he’s been very hit and miss with his appetite, so I finally broke down and took him in for another check up not long ago.  The vet and I agreed it was time to put him on meds to help control the hyperthyroidism.  

Getting old is not for the weak of heart. Things don’t work the same, they don’t feel the same, and life becomes more challenging. Most people are probably used to living with some type of pain on a regular basis. We become so used to taking “stuff” to mask it that the thought of eliminating the cause doesn’t even cross our minds. I would guess this assessment is true for about 80% of the population. Sadly, our pets’ aging is resembling that of humans more and more.
