It's been about 20 years ago now, but my old cat had thyroid problems - her stomach went bald. As I recall the treatment was pills - I gave them to her (with difficulty!) in little lumps of cheese, I don't recollect that it was very expensive and she lived to be 19.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

We have an appointment with the vet next week as our 11yr old cat is displaying quite a few symptoms - Bald patches appearing on her hind quarters, increased appetite and restlessness. She is content in other ways and is up to date with flea and worm treatment.

Our dogs are insured but the cat isn't so am I looking at lengthy treatment and a massive bill?
