Well we FINALLY got Ducky Goose's blood tests ran. She is in GREAT shape for a 14 year old cat, she has a slightly elevated white blood count which is due to her chronic nasal infection from allergies, she also is slightly anemic and has an elevated eosinophil count. She has a heart rate of 300-400 which is REALLY REALLY fast. So her diagnosis is Hyperthyroidism. You can find out more information about it here:

For now Ducky Goose is going on the Methimazole tablets, starting off on a low dose of 1.25mg every day, then it will be increased in about 2 weeks. We will be monitoring her heart rate as well. She is also on Cosequin & Rimadyl (off-label) for her arthritis, as well as the Missing Link supplement every day. Oh we also discovered she has a bladder infection so she's going on Amoxi & Vetalog.
