Feline Radioactive Thyroid (I-131) Treatment

Our Feline Radioactive Thyroid Treatment is currently unavailable until May 2024 due to doctor availability.

Radioactive Iodine Therapy is now considered the treatment of choice for feline hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid glands produce an excess of a hormone that controls your cat's metabolic rate, accelerating wear and tear on his or her internal organs.

In order to stop this excess hormone production, Feline Radioactive Iodine (I-131) treatment is given. Your pet will receive an injection of Iodine 131 and stay in the hospital for a few days while their bodies excrete the iodine. This therapy is 96% effective with one treatment.
