Grommet Says, “Me? Ow!”

Aline writes: you may have wondered why we have been so quiet lately. Unfortunately, Grommet was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 4 weeks ago during a routine exam. The vets (yes, he has his own specialist—a cardiologist) also found some heart problems, hopefully due to the hyperthyroidism (if so, the damage will be reversed once the hyperthyroidism is controlled). So he has been going to the vet a lot (poor thing), and we have been worrying a lot (poor things), and devising sneaky ways of giving him his daily meds. We are all doing better – Grommet has had no side effects from the meds, and we are gradually getting back to normal. He still has some vet appts in his future, but don’t tell him that :-) More posts to follow… we have a lot to catch up on!
