His kidneys look ok, one liver enzyme is elivated (the vet thinks that's related to the thyroid) I asked about taking it out, since it looks like we'll be putting him under for his teeth anyway, but she didn't recommend that.

Well, he's likely having surgery regardless because his teeth are a wreck. I have to admit that I don't look at my cat's teeth and had no idea that they were in such bad shape. That's why he's on the antibiotics, not because of the claw. She said we will likely have to have a few pulled.

Yes, they do remove thyroids.
