I took him back to the vet and found out he had a thyroid condition. His levels were extremely high. So we went the radiation route. The first round brought his levels down a little. So we just did a second round that will hopefully do the trick. Hoping he starts to put on some weight. He is all skin & bones. The last treatment kept him from losing weight but he was only packing on a couple of ounces. His appetite is still pretty good.
The downside of radiation treatment is he has to be confined for 4-5 weeks. Litter has to be in a separate container for 2 weeks before you can throw it away in the regular trash. Not allowed to let him sleep with you or sit on your lap. Petting should be at a minimum and always wash your hands. Wear gloves when scooping poop.... and no visitors especially pregnant people can come in contact with him. So he gets a little lonely. He has tv though to help him through this trying time. Need to find a good show for him to binge. Any suggestions?
