Thanks so much Gloria!
I gave her the pepcid a while ago and I've got the fluids out of the fridge warming up a bit and I'm going to give her a hundred more unless she fights too much. She didn't earlier, but she's a little sick of me now.... I don't think she'll vomit until I feed her again or give her the tap. I'm thinking I'm going to hold off on that till later tomorrow night and try to get more food into her and wait and give the tap. later in the day.
I think the vomiting is due to her not tolerating the tapazole/methamidazole. I don't think it's directly from the hypert. itself. I joined the yahoo group and have looked around some there. From what I've seen so far it looks like surgery is about it, or homeopathy if the tap. doesn't work. She certainly doesn't seem to be in any kind of shape for surgery right now.
I'm going to see what my vet says Monday and then I may go ahead and get an appt. with Dr. Wynn as well. I have often wondered if the 2 I lost last year would still be here if I'd gone to her again with them. But it's so hard to afford ONE vet for everyone, much less two. : (
Thank you again,
tonya

I'd do the Pepsid, if Olive's stomach is upset. Think I'd do some sub-q too, even if not 100cc, do some. I would think that the Sub-Q helps flush toxins out of the body so that the kidneys don't get overwhelmed. Kidney failure is a danger. Apparently the body is in "hyper" mode. I looked in some books...didn't find much on Hyper-T vomiting:
Dr. Hamilton's book has a long article on it.but says it's complex and doesn't give any remedies. Says his first choice for treatments would be homeopathy or holistic, and if not, then surgical removal of one side of the thyroid with homeopathic support. He says also - Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, and turnips contain a compound to slow the thyroid gland. If your kitty will go for them.
"Enclyclopedia of Pet Care" doesn't have much, except use high quality food. Says some people use Essiac tea for cats to help balance the hormones.
Dr. Pitcairn's (old)book talks about vomiting, not Hyper-T. He suggests homeopathy - Ipecac 3X one tablet(well if you're using tablets) every hour for 4 treatments. If that doesn't work he says try Ferrum Phos 6X same schedule.
Anita Fraser's book recommends herbs and homeopathy. Says hyperthyroid cats have super-high nutritional requirements because their metabolism is so fast and their bodies use up nutrients fast. Says to supply nutrients in large amounts , and good quality, and that food should be easily digestible and add extra digestive enzymes....
She recommends slippery elm for diarrhea, but not anything on vomiting. Says use Bach flower remedies for calming (Mimulus). Recommends to feed a high-quality diet with as much raw food as possible, and digestive enzymes, Vitamin C (500 mg) and vitamin B and others.
Many good vibes and wishes for you and Olive...
Gloria
