Hi all,
Greetings from a very small village in the mountains, in Spain. Please bear with any typos, I am not English-native speaker, and not using GPT
I have found -and joined- your forum and I'd like to know what your opinion is regarding the following.
We took our cats - both neutered- for routine checks to our vet, in a small city here. I asked them to include thyroid since they are turning 11. No symptoms of any kind, at least, obvious ones, in neither. One was fine. The other cat - Nimba's- total T4 high. They put lot of pressure on us to start medication with the -zole ones right away:
We took Nimba to the big city and big vet hospital for second check, like 10 days after. Nimba was having hard time after 1 hour and 30 minutes in a van, and she hates that. They said she has hypertension and that it was too high even if she was stressed because of the trip. She got an ultrasound, everything fine except little enlargement of thyroids. I asked what score, they couldn't say in those terms, here's a snapshot of the ultrasound report where they mention the thyroid glands: Captura de pantalla 2024 02 26 a las 19 19 59 — Postimages
They sent all the blood samples to their own specialized partner lab. Lots of stuff checked, thyroid and other viruses, parasites...
Today they have called me to confirm hyperthyroidism on the blood tests (fT4, TSH...). See here:

Now, we have undergone an intense period of learning in the meantime. We discard -zole medication, for we prefer curing than 'masking and adding further problems, plus monthly stress. It's a no for us. At the same time, she "seems" fine. She is Russian blue, though not pure breed. She's been overweight always forever, but she's lost some kilo in 2023 (she was 5.8 kilo a year ago and now she is 4.8) but I've credited to the fact it was me actually controlling grams, max daily 60 grams for a year already.
Right after coming from that long stressful trip from Valencia's hospital, 'something' kept insisting I should change water. They've always drank mineral water, but during last year 2023 and part of this one, we shifted to tap water, I thought it was going to be good, being not in the city. But I started to notice that in the glass recipient, there was lots of waste accumulating, and even rosy color sometimes. I myself shifted to tap water, so did my husband. I noticed thirst all the time. And I started to wonder -but did nothing- whether our tap water is good, or whether they are chlorinating it or adding fluoride in massive amounts, or who knows what. Even being in a rural area. Or who knows, pesticides...I don't know.
So after that second intensive visit to the big hospital, I got home and changed the water back to mineral water. I noticed my own enhancement and Nimba started to go to the water glass bowl a little less - because it's true that for the last 12 months approx she's drinking more than some years ago.
She eats Farmina, typically lamb + blueberries or duck + pumpkin, she won't like BARF or stuff I've tried hard. Only that OR some creamy stuff only with natural ingredients from Catit.
Now, we don't know whether we should request the I-131 treatment (typically 2-3 month waiting list, in Madrid...like 300 kms from here. A vet trained by Mark Peterson on this) - we rule out the -zole treatments, that's a decision. The thing is that after changing water, we also had her have Reiki and she still seems fine.
The doctor says that it's precisely now that she is not showing really overt clinical symptoms when we should go for I-131 (they don't do it, it's just 2 centers in Spain: BCN and Madrid). At the same time, we are going to check her blood pressure with some stuff I've bought from Amazon (to avoid further weekly trips on car to the closest vet center), and a scale to check weight changes. We have decided to do this for the following 2 months, and in the meantime I wonder if we should go for homeopathic treatment and see. But we don't have any homeopathic experienced doctor anywhere.
On other realms, like the emotional part their dis-eases tell about their human counterparts: we are working - the humans- on our own stuff. Seeing what this situation tells about us. Because we know they reflect, they are messengers for the human about our human blockages. We are working on that.
But at this other level of pure body, chemical balance, and body dimension...we'd like to know whether it'd be good to wait and see for 2-3 months, get a new thyroid check and if still growing...then initiate the whole I-131 process or start the procedure request now, because it still requires waiting for our turn approx 2 months...what do you think. And during these months, go for homeopathic (I'll add Bach too) and see how it evolves.
In the end, we'll be the ones deciding, but sharing is caring...and learning. The Universe is bringing another lesson and part of it it's that I may not be reactive to allopathic, nor homeopathic. Nothing. At the same time, they feel Life processes differently, if they had wanted to fly or get cured our way, they would have built planes or hospitals, so I am also summing that factor into the whole decision process. But I do know that I-131 if done well and with the desired amount of fortune too, can revert the situation.
It's tough though. And we are against it. It's just whether this is good timing or we should wait to see if it gets "worse" or maybe not.
Sorry for the long story. I appreciate your time reading this. And I hope I added this post to the right place!
MUCHAS GRACIAS

Some recent pictures. Meet Nimba, a truly character.
