Balancing hyperthyroidism and kidney "failure" in Cats

Greta is a nineteen year old kitty with quite a history. She and her person were homeless for 2.5 years, living in a tent in the cold one of Seattle's sketchy tent cities. She is one tough kitty!  Now, at nineteen, her person does acupressure daily to help her appetite and help balance the thyroid and kidney diseases. This balance is not easy and has cost the lives of many cats. On one hand, when you treat the thyroid, the blood pressure can reduce so much that the kidney disease appears worse and on the other, if you help the kidneys, the thyroid disease can worsen as well. For the hyperthyroidism, Greta takes just 1/4 tab of methimazole (conventional medication with side-effects) because of acupuncture and herbs (Thyrocalm, a human product with rosmaranic and lithospermic acids and the acupressure discussed in this video, her conventional medication has been low. Since methimazole is potentially quite toxic to the body (it's a chemotherapeutic but often necessary when radioactive therapy is not a good idea) our goal is to keep her levels as low as possible. The kidney failure is being treated with fluids, herbs acupuncture and now acupressure and is relatively stable now for over two years.
