As some of you will know we had to take Tom to the vets yesterday for a few problems.
I am pleased to say that everything seems reasonably ok.
He needed more Feliway tablets for his hyperthyroidism and ws due a bloodtest on the 21st. The vet however said we needed to take him in sooner rather than later. Once i'd made the call however he seemed to deteriorate, having been well and responding to treatment previously.
Several mornings he was sick and we had noticed his coat becoming tatty again. He has been overgrooming for months and very sensitive on his back.
Then he went off his food.
We took him for his bloodtest and mentioned the other problems.
He was given an antihistamine injection and another flea treatment. The vet thinks because he has been overgrooming he has a hairball, so we have treated that.
I'm pleased to say that he's started eating again and seems less itchy.
His thyroid level is within normal limits now so fingers crossed.
£116 later oh plus £4.00 for a cooked chicken all seems well ;)
