    Back home - blood tests showed nothing abnormal except for higher thyroid which is unusual in a senior cat. They gave us some fluids and that seems to have helped - when I got her home she went straight for the old food that Zooks hadn’t finished and then scarfed down the fresh stuff I gave her three mouthfuls at a time - didn’t finish it all but spread over three saucers probably a full saucer. So fingers crossed.

      Poor Sammi. Hopefully the fluid boost has helped her feel good enough to want to eat.

      Poor bubby.

      Edit: I’m hoping no hyperthyroidism but we’ve been through it and I’m happy to answer any questions

      Wait, what? Hyperthyroidism usually happens i. Cats older than 12, it’s younger that’s unusual.

      Good news is it’s readily controllable with meds. We used to soak Punkin’s in a spoon of churu and he just fucking went for it

        Well that was what she said. I presume she’s talking about cats that don’t have hyperthyroidism.
