Oct. 2nd, 2009 11:48 amSo, the vet called...
Her liver and kidneys are fine, actually. Her thyroid, on the other paw, is at 21.5--that's twenty times the normal amount, and seven times what it had been when she was on one pill of Tapezol per day.
Vet recommendation is to add anti-nausea meds to her regimen, get her back on two Tapezol per day, and see where her blood levels are in two weeks.
Whew--doesn't stop her from being old, but as long as we can give her good quality of life, and as long as she's okay taking her medicine, I'm not inclined to euthanize.
Thanks to everyone for their support!
