You have not mentioned anything about Kitty's kidney status... If you are leaning toward the radioiodine treatment you may want to investigate the kidney issue further.
My family has had pets (dogs and cats) well into their late teens... we have done both, operations and making life as comfortable as possible. I can understand your position... to do or not to do. I would personally try to get some clarification on the heart and kidney status and go from there.
Best wishes for you all... |
Thank you everyone that has responded so far.
The kitty looks fine, she runs about, insists on playing with some stringed beads 2-3 times a day. The reason we brought her to the vet was because of the patches of hair she would chew out (seems to be a symptom of HT.)
The next step for us would be to get her heart checked out, and yes, we're aware that HT may be masking other issues like kidney issues. Thank you for the reminder, it's important that during this ordeal we don't lose sight of small details.
