She went in today for the procedure. We had a tough weekend, she's been off her meds for 2 weeks and she was having a rough time keeping down food Sat and Sun. I was giving her lots of small meals and while she vomited some of it up, she was able to keep down close to a normal amount of food.
She dealt with the 45 minute car ride OK, a little meowing but not too much. She wasn't pleased with me when I was trying to say goodbye--retreated to the back of the carrier and turned her back on me. Good thing I'm not the sensitive type.
They just called a few minutes ago and said the procedure is done, she did well and everyone involved still has their fingers. Now she just needs to spend 3 days there until her radiation levels go down to acceptable range. I left her favorite foods and treats, along with an old towel that I slept with. Knowing Maggie she's going to back herself into a corner and hiss at anyone who walks by.
But it will all be worth it...no more gyrations getting meds into her or lifetime of vet visits and blood tests. Fingers crossed that she's not one of the 2% that goes hypothyroid instead of hyper.
