Leilah has been home for a few days and seems to be doing fine. She doesn’t act any differently, still waking me up at 7 to feed her. Still pees a little more that a normal cat. But in the beginning that is okay. Each time she goes to the litter box she gets rid of more of the radio active iodine.
I did some reading and for people who have the same treatment they only need to be careful for a couple of days after treatment, for cats they say two weeks. I am washing my hands every time I touch her and using gloves when I clean her litter box.
I do allow her to sleep with me. I have a towel on the side of the bed which sleeps on. I just sleep on the other side of the bed.
Unless something else comes up I take her back to her regular vet for one more blood test to see what her thyroid levels to see if she is completely cured.
If she is cured…next I get to decide what to do about her bad teeth.
