Good luck with the new dose!
Gosh, it's so weird to see "6/22 AMPS" when we're barely passed "6/21 PMPS" here :lol: !

if Tifil is not drinking any water and peeing lots...it could also be due to the renal values going up....when was the last time a blood work was done? what did the renal values show?
I never saw Rocket drink water either until one time he would drink non stop and it was not diabetis related but kidney related....and CRF was discovered....when i never saw him drink water...i did see lots of pees in the litter box...so worth noting if you haven't gotten Tifil's renal values checked...

Tıfıl's blood work was done when she stayed 5 days at the vet 5/19/11. It has been one month. Renal values were normal. Could it change in one month? should I get another blood test done?

I wouldn't say "cure" but it sure sounds like Tifil is feeling a lot better.
Are you planning on getting any sleep? Please take care of yourself as well as Tifil.

Welcome! We have never stopped by before so wanted to say hello! Isn't it nice when they start acting like a kitten again? I guess we just don't realize how sick they are until they start playing again.
Hope you have a great day or is it had? :lol:

PLAYING Sorry I missed a couple of days. That was a nice run of greens yesterday, Tifil could be taking Tess's lead and be bouncing it can last up to 6 cycles. If Jill and Sienne are't looking worried, just ride it out.

Hi Isil!! You are doing really great and looks like Miss Tifil just wants to bounce today.
On the hyperthyroidism, the possible symptoms include drinking alot, peeing alot, constantly hungry, weight loss, alot of meowing especially at night, meow "may" sound hoarse, restlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate. Not every cat shows every symptom but I've had two hyperT cats and they both drank and peed alot, were always hungry and restless, lost weight, and meowed alot at night. I do not believe itching is a symptom of hyperT. If one sees itching in a hyperT cat, it's usually a reaction to the medicine to treat hyperT. Of course, ECID so I wouldn't say that one would NEVER see itching in a hyperT cat that is not yet on meds.
If Tifil is drinking/peeing alot it can be attributable to her FD not being quite regulated yet, to kidney issues, or to hyperT. Those are the first things that come to mind. Weight loss is often typically seen in an untreated FD kitty. You ask if kidney values can change in a month. Absolutely. Any bloodwork is just a "snapshot" in time at that moment.
I don't remember how old TIfil is; it would be rare for a young cat to get hyperT although it can happen. The only way to diagnose it is to do a free T4 (fT4) and total T4 (tT4) blood test. If you can get your vet to do it, he needs to do BOTH tests...not just the total T4. And both values need to be above a certain level in order to make a definitive diagnosis. In other words, two years ago, my Teddi's fT4 was high but her tT4 was not. She maintained very, very well without meds for almost two years and the fT4 even came back down. Most recently, she was just diagnosed..both numbers were elevated above normal.
I hope that helps some. Please let me know if you have any other questions. There are several folks in LL dealing also with hyperT cats and they may have other info for you as well.

Thank you for your answer..I think I couldn't be sure if Tifil is not tested. I will find a way to get the test done.. She eats alot, urinates alot but doesn't drink, she used to cry just like you said before the diagnosis of diabetes...Nowadays, she doesn^t cry during the night but she gets really hungry in the morning, she wakes me up really early.
About the dosin? what should I shoot? she is going down

You and Tifil are just starting out on this FD journey. Most of those symptoms are also seen in FD and Tiflil is just starting to adjust to all the changes taking place in her body.
Diabetes is called the starving disease, because although the cat is eating the nutrients an't get into the cells because of lack of insulin to open the link. so they are hungry and want to eat more. They gain weight, until the crash come when the pancreas shuts down and the cells cant be maintained. then they start to lose weight. It was a long silent process as it developed and it will take time to reverse the damage. Hang in there, things do get better. :YMHUG:
