Cat question

[minniecarousel]

My 13 year-old tabby is acting wierd. He had blood tests done on Monday and the Vet said his thyroid is off. (Can't remember which way it was off.) He wanders, steps in his water dish, is constipated. Gets all wobbly and stretches out a paw when he wants to jump off the computer chair. He acts like it's waaaay down to the floor. He's eating, but not much. He weighed 18 lbs a year ago, but weighs 14.5 now. I'm waiting for the Vet to call back back with the course of action. He needed to have the lab run further tests, so we're waiting for those. He actually got stuck behind the washer the other evening. Got back there and didn't have enough room to turn around and wouldn't back up. DH had to move the washer so he's have room to turn around.

Anyone know what's going on? Is this typical with cats with thyroid problems?

Generally with cats the thyroid is high. Will need meds to help control it.
I don't know if the symptoms you are seeing are typical, but I know before I found out about my thyroid problems, I had some weird symptoms.

Just talk to your vet and they will help you out. Good luck with your kitty!
