One Day Of Treatment, A Lifetime Of Relief
Our simple, one-dose treatment is administered on a Tuesday morning. This single injection is all that’s required, so your cat will not have to endure risky surgery or a lifetime of daily medication. After the treatment is given, your cat spends two nights relaxing with us. Because we are working with radioactive material to cure feline hyperthyroidism, treated cats must stay at our facility for two nights to ensure that all possible safety measures are met. In most cases, patients are released on Thursday of the same week.
After this simple and effective treatment, symptoms attributable to thyroid disease will resolve. You’ll notice positive changes in your cat such as weight gain, better hair coat and grooming habits, normal appetite, and reduction of vomiting. Best of all, your cat will again feel and act more like the friend you know and love, giving you peace of mind and making it easier for you to enjoy time with your treasured pet.

What Is Radioactive Iodine?
Iodine is an integral component of the thyroid hormone. By using a very small dose of radioactive iodine, we can permanently decrease the abnormally high thyroid hormone levels in hyperthyroid cats without affecting other cells of the body. This treatment has been used for over 30 years by veterinarians and is considered the standard of care for hyperthyroidism due to its effectiveness and safety. It is the single best option for resolving your cat’s hyperthyroid disease.
