    what is that thymology dan?


    As you might guess, they are an occupational hazard!

    3 cats - Josh (guess what inspired that one ), Murphy (wasn't allowed Guiness) and Indy (wife's a huge Harrison Ford fan)

    2 Labradors - Swirral & Huw

    Thyroidectomy is removal of one or both of the thyroid glands (situated in the neck between the trachea {windpipe} and jugular vein), usually because they are cancerous and overproductive. The metabolic rate is increased (heart rate goes up, lose weight, eat more, lose hair, increased blood pressure) and untreated it is fatal. You can use tablets but the cat has to be on them every day for life which can be a faff. Surgery is not without its risks but is curative in 95% of cases and needs no follow-up meds.
    This cat will be discharged today.

    Good evening fellas. Just a bit of study, I also attended to the medic consult to know how am I actually. I'm far better than my mum, I'm healing very quickly and they hope me to go out next weekend. My mother is going much slowly, his fractures still almost intact and they had to change her plasters just because the ones she had were not actually helping at all. Anyway I'm quite good now. (Thanks for asking)
  9. Your young bones would heal much quicker.

    English tip : your mother is female so you should say 'her' instead of 'him'

    Yep. She is not so old at all, just birth in 1970... Anyway you're right.

    you said 'his' the other day also though when talking about your mother. I thought you were getting them mixed up just

    NO no no the problem is that in spanish the relative to HE is "SU" and the relative to SHE is "SU", so it's the same. Big problem when we go into English, if you don't pay attention those kind os mistakes are very easy to fall in. Just a matter of attention. I'm beggining to think directly in English (without translating from Spanish) so mistakes will begin to be usual...
