Tyler (not quite 17) and his growing list of diagnoses
Tyler has had high blood pressure and a heart murmur for quite a while (years). Just found out from his last vet visit that he has urinary crystals and is hyperthyroid. Switching foods to help with the crystals, and he’ll be starting medication for his thyroid as well, to go along with his blood pressure medication. Vet did say that he seems healthy other than these issues - lungs, kidneys, bones, joints, etc all looked good on x-rays. I’m a little worried about the newest findings because I know urinary blockages are very serious and I’m not very familiar with hyperthyroid other than knowing it causes them to lose weight (he’s 9.6 pounds, down from 14 when he was a much younger kitty).
