Did you register it online with Dyson? Mine packed up recently, couldn't find receipt but checked on Dyson website and it was still within the 5 year warranty so they came out and fixed it, no problem

Seemingly the stick things only have 2 years :mad:

What has stopped working, I ask because the brush on mine has a mind of its own and sometimes won’t turn:(

Hi Freew,
Just say anything that comes into your head... that's what most of us do and we get along fine.

Or do a bubbs, and just hit the keyboard a few times then press Submit Reply. The things people do when they are close to loosing top spot to TM

Just back from the vets. Ronnie our oldest cat has been steadily getting thinner since Christmas although otherwise still his normal alpha male self. It occurred to me during the night that my mum went stick thin when her thyroid was over active so I googled and Ronnie fitted the pattern.

We have a fabulous vet who must be nearly 80 now, tried to retire but got bored so he just does 2 days a week now so our cats are only allowed to be ill on a Monday or Tuesday.

Vet checked Ronnie over, his heart rate was racing (mind you vets are scary people to cats so its no wonder) He also asked if his appetite was good (it always has been) but that and his spine protruding he said were classic indicators of an over active thyroid. He said it upsets the metabolic rate so they start burning up fat hence the weight lose. He weighed him but actually his weight was fairly normal so he was stout to begin with. He also took a blood sample and said he would ring us in an hour - actually we had barely got home when he rang.
No diabetes thankfully but he has got feline hyperthyroid so we set off again for the vets to collect the meds.
Ronnie has a liquid meds which I've got to squirt into his mouth twice a day and gradually after 3 weeks he will start to plump up again.

(it made me wonder how long it would take to diagnosis and treat humans with the same condition )

Try decades

Hyperthyroidism: all they tend to want to is either nuke it, or remove it :eek::eek: Then telling them hypothyroidism is much easier to manage :rotfl::(:(:(

Some people can have hypothyroidism for decades before it will actually show up in a blood test where they deem it suitable to treat. Then the treatment is terrible........

quoted pip but see she has tried dyson, omg Auto correct!!!55357;!!!56834;



Good afternoon, well the answer for me was 4 years:eek:, because the weight loss 20kg, was put down to a medication, eventually Graves!!!8217; disease was diagnosed and yea I put on the weight then:o

that's what I was thinking. When OH started to need blood tests he could either go to the local hospital so that was a couple of hours away from work plus petrol and parking. Then a weeks wait and you had to ring the surgery and quite often the surgery would just say make an appointment - more time away from work and more waiting. After 3 months he finally got onto the blood test appointment lists at our local surgery so its just a quick half hour out of work - you were literally waiting for someone to leave the appointments list (death, hospital admission, house move etc) before you got onto the local lists.
But with a cat you can talk to your vet, have a blood test straight away, results within the hour and meds picked up and treatment started same day

Oh that's not good news I wonder why the stick ones have a much shorter warranty? Was contemplating getting one but maybe not then ...

Mhoc I really cannot moan unlike westie, as I said my symptoms were attributed to another medication when my renal consultant had a brain wave , the blood was taken and tested and I had a visit from the endocrinologist that same morning, it’s amazing how quick you get to see another specialist when your current specialist requests it!, my dh on the other hand has under active thyroid since 2000 and still never seen an endocrinologist :cool:
