We have had 22 cats during the past 40 years, at the moment we have 3, all of our cats have been rescued over the years. our 15 year old LULU recently developed what we thought was CRF, cronic renal failure, as we have lost 6 cats in the past with this problem, we though we knew exactly how to treat her, diet wise,with a special diet, and an increased of certain vitamins, and minerals. 6 weeks passed no improvement, and she was at deaths door, so we had to take her to our vet, dreading the cost. Diagnosis...Feline Hyperthyoidism, we left the vets £200 poorer, but Oh! so relieved, 3 days on she has improved dramatically, getting back to being our dear old LULU.

At present she has 1 2.5mg Fortekor daily, and 1 10mg of Vidalta daily, those 2 little pills have reversed the problem for LULU. Is there a moral to this story,YES! YES! YES! Always seek advice from a vet, do not make the mistake we did, thinking we knew what the problem was, WE nearly killed our Dear LULU...Ray Ingram
