Hello!
Having noticed her looking awfully bony our old cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroid. We got her as a rescue cat 10.5 years ago when she was thought to be roughly 2 to 3 years old.
The vet has prescribed vidalta pills once daily and regular blood tests.
DH has been researching various options and has come across radioiodine treatment. He mentioned it to our vet who was dismissive of the procedure citing its huge cost (£3000-4000) and risk of death to the cat.
However, our cattery lady was much more positive thinking it cost about £1000 and was very successful as a procedure.
Has anyone had any experience of this procedure? We are in Central Scotland.
Thanks in advance
