Her kidney values aren't being disguised by thryoid function so they are up a bit, but not bad enough to threaten her chances if she needs radioactive treatment to address her hyperthyroid condition.
She was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid disease when given a general checkup due to her excessive urination, hyper 'attitude' and fur shedding worse than pig pen could ever muster up. Daily vacuuming has become a necessary evil around here. )-:
Her weight is up by 1 1/2 pounds to 10 pounds and according to her expert veterinarian who is helping us beat this disease, her heart rate is much better.
