GREAT NEWS! Maggie does NOT have Lymphoma! She has hypothryroid (low thyroid). But she shows all signs of having a HYPERthryoid (high thyroid).Signs of HYPOthyroid are typically weight gain, hair loss and wire-like hair. Signs of HYPERthyroid are losing weight but still eating a lot. Although this sounds more like Maggie, blood work shows her thyroid levels are actually low.The vet is going to give her a thyroid supplement for 30 days then re-run her blood work.We can finally sleep easy! And Maggie will sleep easy, too...while she was sick I let her sleep in the bed...and there's no turning back ;-)
