Most patients have a decent amount of pain for the first 48 hours following surgery. I, on the other hand, have a high threshhold for pain, but had an allergic reaction to the stitches which made my thyroidectomy more painful that either one of my c-sections.<br><b>References : </b><br> It really depends.

Low energy, hair falling out, stress makes it worse. There are some very good hypothyroid websites out there with explanations and symptoms.

I was 25 @ the time. Pain was minimal and I do NOT have a high pain threshold (i.e. I'm a wimp) I was nervous that I would not be able to eat or talk, but I healed VERY quickly. My incision was closed with staples & I was terrified that I would have to wear turtlenecks for the rest of my life BUT it has healed beautifully! You can barely even see the scar. Apply vitamin E if/when your Dr. says it's OK. Now I take synthroid everyday. Take your medicine EVERYDAY @ the same time. Good luck & don't worry!<br><b>References : </b><br> I had this same surgery in 2000. I was 25 @ the time.

I would go ahead and visit the vet. She will take some tests to evaluate blood cell counts and a ton of other things. Its relatively painless to your cat. You may want to consider some homeopathic remedies to reduce her stress and improve her immune system.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.coolest-cat-care.com/paliver Sometimes a kidney problem can lead to an increased appetite but no weight gain.

We found out from the blood test done prior to her getting a tooth pulled and the rest of her teeth cleaned. Not all cats would have signs showing, usually it's a loss of weight and an increase in drinking, but it depends on the cat.<br><b>References : </b><br> Mine was just starting in with hyperthyroidism and had no symptoms at all.

That's a wonderful age. I was also thinking thyroid/tumor problems too but perhaps it's worth getting him checked out just in case it is this or perhaps a form of diabetes. Hyperthyroidism is quite common in cats over 7 years of age. Elderly cats needing vet visits around twice a year to keep an eye on things. Have you changed his food to something else lately? I think though that because of his great age, it'd be an idea to phone the vet and have a chat and be guided there.<br><b>References : </b><br> You’ve really looked after this cat for it to have lived this long.
