I took Louise to RadioCat today. Who knew I'd miss her and worry about her so much, and not even an entire day has gone by? I am such a cat owner. They have a good system set up at this place. They obviously know what cat owners are like. The cats have nice, big airy cages. You can bring any toys or blankets or special food dishes that your cat is partial too, for that homey feel. Granted, you won't get any of it back since it's been exposed to radiation, but that's a minor issue, isn't it? They get your cat to eat as often as possible - the good stuff, Fancy Feast and all that. The more they eat, the more they eliminate. The more they eliminate, the faster the iodine gets through their system. The tech looking after your cat calls you everyday to let you know how your cat is doing. Not a bad deal for $1250. And at least this place is somewhat nearby, as opposed to having to drive several hours to another state. I keep telling myself that Louise will only be there for a week, but that seems like an awfully long time.
Her thyroid levels are really high, so they tell me, and that may mean a second treatment, at half the cost, of course. "This treatment will definitely bring the levels down," they say, though it's a matter of will it bring the levels down enough. I now know what savings accounts are really for.
