So most people know from my Facebook page that this fluffy mcflooferson is named Mr Meowington. He was a stray in my neighborhood that no one knew where he came from. He showed up to everyone’s houses and everyone was feeding him. He got into a fight one night with another animal and was injured. I rushed him to the vet and got him fixed up. He’s been mine ever since. The neighbors helped with food while he healed. But we all noticed he wasn’t gaining any weight for such a hefty eater.

 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?
