Meet Eddie

Eddie is our oldest of two feline family members. He will be 13 years old in August. We recently found out he has a tumor on his thyroid gland, causing a disease called Hyperthyroidism. It is a pretty common disease in older cats and the tumors are usually benign. The good news is that it can be controlled with medication. The bad news is that it means more trips to the vet for sedation and blood draws for little Ed, at least until we get the correct dosage of medication figured out. The other good news is we caught it pretty early, on routine bloodwork and he is fairly asymptomatic. He's a tough old bird!

This is Ed's favorite toy, Thing 2. We call him Thing Gross.
