Theo did try to eat a little bit that evening but he threw everything he ate up. Saturday morning his full appetite returned so I haven’t had to apply the new medication since that first time. I stopped with the thyroid medication on Wednesday but the vet suggested Friday I try giving Theo a lower dose. I haven’t resumed that yet because I want Theo to eat several meals first. Hopefully we’ll figure all this out and keep Theo feeling as well as possible.

Mum and I are sending lots and lots of prayers and purrs that Theo will feel like eating soon
Come on Theo, even if it is a small bit,just eat...please!
Purrs, Julie
Sending many purrs to Theo. Many vets start the hyperthyroidism medication (I assume it’s methimazole?) at too high a dose and it can cause issues like you’re seeing with Theo. A lower dose may help. Also the transdermal version (you rub in the ear like the appetite stimulant you have (which I assume is Mirataz?)), can be better because it bypasses the GI tract and does not cause the loss of appetite, vomiting. Let me know if I can be of any help…I have been down this road.
