Hey Susan,
What is the name of the great vet that you like in Austin. The girl that
posted below lives in Austin and I thought I'd forward the name to her.
:)

Subject: [feline-hyperT] Introduction for Maxx - Austin, TX
Good afternoon and thanks for allowing us to join!
My kitty, Maxx was just diagnosed with hyperT on Friday. I had
noticed that she had lost a little weight, but attributed it to her
aging. Her bloodwork from her annual wellness exam caught the
hyperT, along with a couple other things. I have had Maxx for the
past 12 years. I found her in downtown Phoenix, AZ. She was already
full-grown and spayed, so I am not sure of her actual age. My vet is
recommending the I-131 treatment, but that is something I will have
to save up for. She also has a dime-sized lump near her right
shoulder and an abscessed tooth. I inquired about starting with the
methimazole pills, then getting her tooth pulled and lump removed
and biopsied (preferably on the same visit) before finishing with
the I-131. This seemed like a logical progression to me, but my vet
stated that the methimazole will block the iodine uptake and cannot
be done once the methimazole treatment has begun. I have since heard
stories to the contrary, so any input on this would be greatly
appreciated. I just moved from North Austin to South Austin and this
is a new vet for me.
Maxx has 1 sibling, a timid 130lb. female Anatolian Shepherd named
Pele, that she thoroughly enjoys bossing around on a regular basis.
Oh, and my name is Christina, Maxx's humble servant.
