My girl Onyx (maybe 5 years old) was diagnosed last night with Hyperthyroid. I noticed the changes in her eating and restlessness over the past 3-4 weeks. My vet gave me credit for seeing slight behavioural changes before the other symptoms onset. So I think we caught it very early.
She is starting the 2x's daily pills today and in 30 days we'll check her blood panels again. I already know that the Iodine Radiation is the way to go with her (provided she is a good candidate). Because of Onyx's young age this seems the way to go as opposed to pilling EVERYDAY and monitoring her dietary intake.
Can I hide these pills in her food, or do they have to be given without food?
BTW - Radioactive Iodine laws/rules are handled differently from state to state. I live in Rhode Island and the expected interment time is 5-7 days.
If anyone has a reason why I SHOULDN'T use the I-131 treatment please feel free to tell me. Thanks
