Ducky Goose Update
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.

Ducky Goose
Ducky Goose is our 14 year old Snowshoe Siamese Kitty. She has a really fast heart rate right now (300-400 per minute) normally the high end should be no more than 160. She is older, so the vet (aka Grandpa) is suspecting that she may have Hyperthryoidism which is common in older cats, and the signs include a rapid heart rate without a murmur. We are going to do some bloodwork hopefully on Tuesday or Wednesday to see what's up with her. Poor kitty.
