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.
