Feline Hyperthyroidism

Download Our Feline Hyperthyroidism Article – PDF

Hyperthyroidism is a common disease in older cats. The good news is that there are several effective treatment options such as a special diet, medication, surgery, and radioiodine therapy. Because this is a chronic disease, it can change over time, so your veterinary team will want to re-evaluate your cat often to make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Everyone at Kingsbrook has been wonderful with our pets! They have immense patience with our huge, SUPER excited, black lab puppy. And the care they took when our cat passed away last year was amazing...though they had only met her a few times, they were visibly shaken by our loss. It was touching and helped make the transition a little bit easier for us!

Dr. Cook, the techs and front desk team are amazing..always! They are extremely thorough, they take their time and get and give every detail needed. The follow up is impeccable, they literally follow up just to see how my babies are feeling or if I have any questions. Dr. Cook does not pressure me to get a lot of testing or procedures.

I can not thank this office enough for all they had done for my dog, he was not scheduled to see them for another week, but due to an injury they got him in the same day. From calling in and speaking to Blake, who got me in in a promptly manner. Once there, Kayla was ever so kind and gracious to assist me with what needed to be done...keeping at a social distance, also to Julia who happen to handle the payment process quite seamlessly...

I cannot say enough about Kingsbrook and the entire staff! They take such great care of my fur babies and are always so friendly! You can tell they truly care about their patients. I know my dogs are in great hands, we are so happy we found them!

Receive 5 stars all the way. Excellent vet for all your pet care needs. I love the fact everyone takes their time to work with my dog and then thoroughly review everything with me. It's been a while since I've had a dog. Recently got one and knew exactly who i wanted his vet to be (Kingsbrook). Great job everyone!

Dr. Riley is fantastic as are the techs. I was a nervous dad taking Anna in for her first appointment for shots etc. but Dr. Riley did a phenomenal job with Anna, explained everything, engaged me in conversation and left me with a sense of calm. I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Riley and her staff!
