Review on 🐶 Pet Wellbeing Thyroid Support Gold for Dogs: Natural Solution for Thyroid Health & Calm Canine Temperament - 2oz (59ml) by Gelin Battle

Summary: This product worked for us. Your results may vary, so pay close attention to your cat when using these drops. Full version below: Our senior cat, Tiger, has an overactive thyroid. his face in a bowl of food, but wouldn't/couldn't eat. He ate some of our human food but almost none of our cat food. At first we thought he might have dental problems and tried other (softer) products but they didn't help. We took him to the dentist but...he lost a lot of weight in a few days and still wasn't eating so we took him to the vet. Diagnosis: hyperthyroidism. The vet said he's too weak for dental care (or almost anything) so we'll have to try to get him to eat. The vet said thyroidectomy (partial removal) had long been the method of choice, but now (no surgeons or clinics) are performing the procedure. All have been treated with radioactive iodine - basically radioactive iodine is injected in a carefully calculated amount, it settles in the thyroid where the radiation destroys part of the organ. You'll have to isolate your cat for a couple of weeks and store their feces for 90 days for the radiation to go away. It costs around $1500. Yes, both the price and the test. But before we (can) put Tiger under such stress, we had to restore his health, so. The vet gave us little pink pills that can help with thyroid problems, but we have to watch out for side effects like severe facial itching and harmful scratches. Of course, the meds *worked* and Tigra started eating better, especially on a scientific diet. But after a few weeks, he started scratching his face and a thick layer of wax formed in his ears. We put him on steroids to heal the damage he was doing to himself, but we just couldn't keep him on the pills. I was looking for alternatives to surgery or radiotherapy and came across reviews of this product. Actual user feedback has shown that this works *sometimes* - no wonder everyone's situation is different and what works for one may not work for another. So I ordered a bottle to try Tigger. In early November, I started giving him one drop for every two pounds he weighed, so four drops (he weighed just under 8 pounds). The effect was almost immediate: he began eating his usual food with pleasure. Through experimentation I've found that he doesn't like the taste of the drops *full strength* - if I just drip into his food then he'll refuse to eat after I've eaten the part where the drops were. What I did *with great success* was make "gravy" by adding warm water to the residue at the bottom of the feeding jar and stirring the drops in it, then added this to his food. with its salmon pie swimming in a sauce or broth into which drops are mixed. It worked, at least in that he was able to eat, be in a good mood, and gain some weight. HOWEVER - the vet warned us that one of the consequences of hyperthyroidism is cravings, and that's what Tigra seems to be heading for. He wants breakfast, second breakfast (in 30 minutes), lunch, second breakfast, lunch, second lunch, dinner, second/third/fourth dinner (anything he can get us to do). And he's not gaining all his weight. There are still not as many cats as there used to be. It's June 2017 and he's been getting drops since last November. We will be taking him back to the vet soon to have his bloodwork checked again and hopefully he is stable.
