Wendy; I started Delilah (Sam's 16 year old mother) on Tapisole 5 mg. two times a day two months ago. Unless I can get it in on the first try while she is mummied in a towel, there's no need to try again. She was diagnosed at that time with hyperthyroidism. Her T-level was 13, and I belive normal is 4. (?) I knew about the transdermal gel; my vet mentioned it. Is it really is absorbed well on the inside of the ear? I know she feels much better, her coat is shiny, and she has put on a little weight but what a struggle.!!!
I know I should not compare, but giving Sam five meds a day including injections 2X a week, and subcu fluids, was easier. He did not like it, but he let me do it for 7 years.........I am thankful it was not Delilah.......(He could read my mind and know when I was thinking about giving them and run and find a nice hiding place!!!) Anyhow, I am anxious to hear more about the gel. I hope Tonya lets everyone know about Popeye!!!!

Re: Popeye If Popeye is hyper-T, the meds can reverse some of the damage to the heart if the heart problems are related to the hyper-T. You should use the transdermal gel (rubbed into the ear) because of the difficulty in giving Popeye meds. That's what Julie gets and she doesn't even know she's getting meds. :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
