Mister Relaxing at Sutton Courtney

This is Mister relaxing at the Sutton Courtenay cat clinic.  He came to visit the cat clinic suffering from weight loss, hyperactivity and lameness. Vet Sarah checked Mister over and recommended a blood test to see if he is suffering from hyperthyroidism. Mister was very calm and was really good for his blood sample.  Mister was also diagnosed with arthritis in his hips and front legs.  He was started on a pain killing medication to help him get around more easily.   It is not uncommon for older cats to develop arthritis, this can be a very painful condition and as cats are not often lame with arthritis it can be overlooked.

Mister has now been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He has started treatment.  We'll keep you up to date with his progress.
