Are cat physical exams really necessary? Well, at the age of
13 years, my vet (who is
also my owner) ran a routine blood test and discovered that I had an over-functioning thyroid.
There are a number of treatments from radiation or medication to
thyroid removal. Since my vet is such a great surgeon, I
elected to have my thyroid removed,
and after a two week recovery, I went back to my normal routine of
overseeing the front desk at the hospital and (best of all) sleeping
on my cushion right by the main
computer monitor. I have supervised data input at this hospital since they built
it you know.
Well, now I have traveled
on, to a new place over the rainbow, but be assured, I will continue to write this column so that we
cats always get a word in.
All the
best.....................Amber
