My 15 year old DSH kitty, Phoebe, has developed greasy fur, matting, is much more clingy (which I'm loving) and has increased urination. She will have periods where she'll race around like a kitten and longer periods where she just naps away for long periods of time. I've been reading up on the possible causes of these symptoms and keep seeing "hypothyroidism" as a possible cause.
I am on a VERY fixed income and don't have the luxury of being able to take her to a vet even though I desperately want to.
What are some ways that I can treat her at home?
She LOVES coconut oil (pure virgin, of course) so I let her lick as much as she wants every day but she won't eat it if I mix it in with her food. So finicky. I appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you in advance from both of us. =)
