Rated 5 out of 5 great medicine for my older cat after just a week of being on this medicine, i noticed a difference in my cat. she became more active and she seemed to catch a "second wind" of sorts. the vet did explain that she will have to be on it for the rest of her life but she seems so much happier now.

Rated 5 out of 5 'Ozzy's' Miracle! 'Ozzy' is my wonderful 21 year old cat, and has been on methimazole for over a year. He had been getting very thin, and his eyes were sunken and he just looked like he was on 'death's door'. My vet recommended that we try him on 5mg a day, and within 10 days he began to look like the 'Ozzy' of old. Over the past year he's gained weight (still on the thin side, but healthy now), and is as playful as he's always been. We highly recommend methimazole. Thank you Dr. Kilgore!!! May 25, 2007
Rated 4 out of 5 Drastically improved cat's behavior I adopted a 14 year old cat, and for the entire first month he threw up 2-3 times a day, and kept losing weight. When he was put on methimazole, he didnt throw up as often, and acted how i would expect a cat his age act, calm and nice. It didn't help my cat gain weight-- he's still very skinny though he eats a lot, but if helped him not throw up every day and i'm thankful for that!*This is a prescription item March 8, 2006
Rated 4 out of 5 Helped 9 year cat act his age Once my cat was diagnosed with over-active thyroid he was put on this medication twice a day and within a week (or less) we started noticing a difference. He would throw-up every day and ate a lot more and didn't sleep thru the night and kept losing weight. Now he only coughs up the occasional hairball and sleeps through the night and I have been able to reduce his food intake and he actually gained over a pound - he was too thin. He's still active and playful but more relaxed.*This is a prescription item October 17, 2005
