My Thyroid

Riley Coyote on Health - Wed, June 04 2008

It's been awhile since I've posted...I found out my thyroid has given out and now I get a piece of hotdog a day with a pill hidden in it! Now mom is lookin on putting me a Ritlyn? I'm almost 5 years old and acting like I'm 6 months old! I found a new vet and I love them cause they let mom hold me when they work on me. Bogie has been to them too cause he poked a hole in his front leg....he's still limping around even tho the staples are out! Remember Smoke n'JO, well, mom didn't get Jo spayed soon enough and she had 4 babies! So now we have 4 little monster kitties evading our house! I worry over them all the time and one of them has fallen in love with me...she always runs to me when I see her. I just have to be careful, cause sometimes I stick my foot out and knock them over...I don't mean to hurt them, I just want to play...mom keeps hollering at me when I do it cause she's afraid I'm going to hurt them. I don't want to hurt them...I love them, I guess I have to get used to them being so small. Mom told me the other day that she ain't getting rid of them...she was there when they were born and has been there with them since...Jo is being a real B*t&h when mom is around them...I think Jo is jealous cause when mom comes into their room they all run to her. So I guess our family is growing! Smoke is kinda confused..he tries to play with the babies, but then he runs off...Camo of course WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. It's going to be interesting the next few months! Well, going to close...talk at ya all later!

I'm sorry to hear that Riley is having trouble with his thyroid. Mom needs to do some research to learn more about it. I hope everything works out okay for him.
Anywho...there isn't anything cuter than a kitten. Mom has had many kittens in the past but it's only me for now.

My teacher said that if your Thyroid is low, you can add Kelp to your diet to naturally help increase it. I know this probably won't help you, Riley, but your post may draw attention to the importance of overall health in us all. Glad you feel better with your Hotdog Pill! and enjoy those little monsters :-)

Riley C - it's good to hear from you again! Sorry to hear about the thyroid but the meds will take care of that. Sounds like your clan has been busy busy! Glad to hear that your Mom finally found the "right" vet. Have fun playing with your new kitties!

Dude! I'm glad you're back on 'paws! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondered how you were doing. Sorry to hear about your thyroid (although hot dogs are yummy!)-- my mommy has thyroid problems too. Yuck! Have fun with the new kittiecats, I wish I was there to play with them! BARK

Dude, it's so good to hear from you. It's been so long and we wondered where you've been. The thyroid thing doesn't sound fun, but getting a hot dog every day sounds like a good deal! You got kittens? You're so lucky! Have fun with them and teach them all kinds of good things, okay?

Yep I am a cat but I like dogs even if my housmates don't. Mom says my thyroid is over active so now I act like a kitten instead of a geezer cat. I get wet food twice a day with my medicine. It is yummy and the vet said my thyroid is good now with the meds, but mom says I still act like a crazy hyper kitty! She says it is cool if I am silly as long as my test keep saying I am fine. Mom saw I was sick right away and our vet said lets check and sure enough they were both right. I no longer feel bad I feel twice as good so yep I am living it up!

Hey Riley glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your Thyroid issue but hope the meds help. Kitties are so cute and having four of them is quite a handful. Feel better soon.
