I have been thinking a lot about Fu, and I read the info on the site,
emailed by someone else, saying that Tapazol can cause anemia and kidney damage.
I am thinking there is a good chance that this is what has happened to Fu.
I am wondering if it would make sense to decrease or stop the
I should have said in the last email that I meant to talk to the vet
about it, or to people on the feline hyper-t group, not to just stop it because
it may need to be tapered or may not be possible at all.

Michelle and all - the vet just said Fu's red cell blood count is 15. I
know that's pretty low. I wonder if the methimazole he's taking for
hyperthyroidism is causing the anemia? I think at a very frail 19 years,

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...
