Autumn had another checkup. Her T4 levels were a little elevated so we’re increasing the dose of her hyperthyroidism medication just a bit. She really has been good about taking her medicine, though; she will go to the windowsill in the living room when she sees I have the syringe, and while she doesn’t love me manually opening her mouth to give her dose, she still gladly accepts the tube treat I offer for her troubles.
