I just have to say THANK YOU LORD, Boo does not have hyperthyroidism. The vet called while I was in the bathroom. That was a sight in itself, with Chickster in there, and me trying to get out and her dodging back and forth. She'd be a GREAT goalie or football player. She nearly knocked me down. Anyway, the vet said his T4 came back normal. Their range is 1.5-4.8 and his is 1.4. I asked if it was a little low and they said no, not really, it's borderline, but Dr. Mireles said he really wouldn't worry. He was super happy that he had gained weight (7.4 to 8 pounds now!) and thinks things are going fine. I told him about the fluid absorption worry and he insisted 200mL a day was fine to continue doing, and if he had a little pouch left (I told him it was maybe 50mL or less) he said not to worry about that. They do want to run a CBC, Superchem and Electrolyte panel. I don't have the money for the superchem definitely, it is a bit over 90 dollars. The CBC is 30-40 and the Electrolyte is 30-40. JUST to get his BUN level is 16.00 so I will certainly try to do that Monday, to give Boo a break. He is sleeping in the closet right now and is staying still.
Thanks everyone so much <3
