Understanding Hyperthyroidism in Cats
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) disrupts your cat's metabolism, heart rate, and more, potentially leading to severe complications or even death if left untreated. Medical management for controlling hyperthyroidism is available, but considering the lifelong medication regimen required, many cat owners prefer the simplicity and effectiveness of radioactive iodine treatment.

The Basics of Feline Hyperthyroidism
When affected by a tumor (98% of which are benign), the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormone, causing the cat's metabolic rate to skyrocket. But with Radioiodine therapy, the cure isn't just possible—it's a one-shot deal.
Hyperthyroidism over-stimulates nearly every organ system, leading to a host of symptoms, including weight loss, altered appetite, hyperactivity or lethargy, fever, rapid heartbeat, excessive shedding, increased thirst, and more. Fatal if untreated, this condition now has a definitive, curable solution through Radioiodine therapy.
Past Treatment Options: A Comparison
Historically, Feline Hyperthyroidism treatments included anti-thyroid drugs like Tapazole (methimazole) and surgical treatment like removal of the thyroid gland. However, neither approach consistently eradicated the disease, and both carried significant risks to the cat's health. Today, Radioiodine (I-131) therapy outshines these methods by offering a safe, effective, and definitive cure.
The Radioiodine (I-131) Breakthrough
This state-of-the-art treatment method safely destroys the entire thyroid tumor, regardless of location, in 95% of cases. Radioiodine therapy is the expert-approved and cost-effective solution for Feline Hyperthyroidism with minimal harmful side effects.
It's the only method that:
- Extends your cat's lifespan by 2-4 years over medical management
- Eliminates thyroid tumors permanently.
- Offers a cost-effective alternative to drugs or surgery.
