A few weeks ago, Mickey was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and started on a once-a-day pill treatment. Unfortunately the treatment lead to him not eating. He lost a lot of weight and by the time we got to the vet, his liver was not in great shape. He was taken off the thyroid meds and we started force-feeding him 4 times a day. Another vet visit, however, uncovered the fact this his digestive system is not working properly. Twice-daily shots to help his GI tract and more feedings didn't seem to have helped, so he is now in an animal hospital where they can monitor his condition and give him a steady drip of meds designed to get his digestion working again.

Mickey is such a sweet kitty. He's so friendly and he absolutely loves to meet new people. One of his favorite things to do is roll on concrete, despite how dirty this makes him. We're all hoping and wishing that he comes home safe.
