Re: Fu's red cell blood count

[PEC2851]

Bonnie~ The anemia may be a result of the methimazole. (Check out www.vetinfo.com/cthyroidtreat.html). How long has Fu been on the methimazole? I agree, 19 is a risky age for the surgery. Another side effect from methimazole use is damage to the kidneys... It's so hard when our babies get on in years. Your damned if you do, and damned if you don't. My Felix, who suffered IBD was diagnosed with CRF at 17. After "fighting" with him with meds and special "prescription diet", I decided to just give him subq fluids and homeopathic supplements, and let him eat what ever he wanted.... Dear boy, lived another 2 and 1/2 years..... Best wishes for Fu and you. Patti
