Hello!
Well I have started to suspect that my boy is becoming hyperthyroid. He is 12 years old this year, has always been a big boy and VERY food motivated and vocal around food so it has been quite hard to tell. I have not long started to work in a vets, and the more I hear about it the more I suspect.
His acting like he is starving CONSTANTLY, whenever I phone home I can here home meowing for food in the background all the time. I live in London (he lives with my dad) so I only get to see him every 4 weeks. I went home a couple of weeks ago I noticed that he is a tiny bit thinner (we aren't talking much he is a 5kg chunk) and his fur looked unkept.
I have him booked in for blood tests soon. Has anyone had much success with the operation? He is only 12 and I am thinking that this may be a viable option for him as he can be difficult to tablet.
Here's the gorgeous man himself
