Emergency purrs for Xoxo

He's not blocked and his bloodwork came the same as during his wellness
exam back in July. The doctors did notice a small lump in his thyroid,
so they've ordered a special test that won't be ready until Thursday. If
this test shows his thyroid levels are normal, then the lump is likely
cancer.
Now, this is in no way related to the symptoms he was having earlier,
TED thinks he may have been bitten by a wasp or something like that.

Lots of purrs for this to be something manageable and for our Xoxo to
have many more years with us.

It's entirely reasonable, Victor, that the lump is indicative of being
hyperthyroid. A goitre (sp?) often appears as a lump on the thyroid
and it is a symptom of hyperthyroidism. HT cats are often managed very
successfully for years.

What ever the outcome, many purrs en-route.

Tom just called, Xoxo is panting and crying, so he's rushing him to
the vet. I'm leaving the office now, please send all the purrs you can
for our old fellow.

Coming to this late but sending purrs for Xoxo

Still catching up on posts - how is XoXo? Lots of purrs for him to have a
treatable condition.

Purrs on the way for dear Xoxo. When Frank had an overactive thyroid,
there was a little lump on his throat, a benign tumour that caused the
hyperactivity. Panting and crying were some of the signs that there was
something wrong with his thyroid. If that's what's ailing Xoxo, it is
easily manageable (unless he's very difficult to pill). We're hoping it's
that or something even easier.

Thank you Marina!!! You just gave us a lot of hope, those were exactly the
symptoms Tom observed. I hope it's a benign tumour that can be treated
with pills.

You've got it in high volume, Victor. A chorus of purrs on their way.
