My 18 y.o. female cat was diagnosed with hyper thyroidism last March or Feb. Because of her age she isn't a candidate for radiation therapy or surgery, so she has been on a dose of methimazole, 1/2 tablet twice a day. Now she has been diagosed with severe anemia that the vet thinks may have been caused by the medicine. Have you had any good experiences treating elderly cats with this syndrome? Can you recommend a vet? I work part time, I have CFIDS, and don't have the $ to spend $400 on blood tests every few months. Yet I want a conscientious vet who will do the necessary tests. Maybe the vet I have is fine, but I want to hear what other cat people have experienced. Barrie
