When my first Great Dane got sick I had to give him 7 huge pills at every meal to help him digest his food. There was room enough for my whole hand in his throat, lol.
Originally Posted By goodgirl After being gone for nine days and nights, Madeleine came home late last night. I couldn't believe it. I had spent the week in grief and tears, fearing the worst. Lots of people told me their cat came back after awhile but I live in a rural area and Madeleine was grossly underweight because of the hyperthyroidism. With no body fat on her and an indoor cat I just wasn't sure she could survive out there. As I was getting ready to go to bed I heard this meowing. I ran to the front door. Not there. I ran to the patio door. Not there. I ran to the garage door and there she was. I had been leaving one of the garage doors open about 8 inches all week and had meant to close it when I came home from work tonight but forgot. She is skinnier than ever and eating voraciously. I immediately started her on the meds. She slept with me last night and pretty much had to be touching my body at all times. Periodically she would go into these periods of heavy duty purring and kneading. If only she could talk. I wonder what kind of adventure she was on. This morning she was staring out the patio door window. "Dream about it baby," I said, "'Cause you ain't goin' out there ever again." Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
