Keep us posted!
It seems that your vet was way out of this world!My first cat, Gwen, was hyperthyroid, and although we were offered the iodine treatment by our vet, she did not tell us that it was the only real cure for hyperthyroidism. We wound up giving Gwen methimazole, and were advised to bring her in to the vet once a year to get her thyroid levels tested. Long story short, this was not frequent enough, and by her follow-up vet visit a year later, her thyroid levels were wildly out of control and had resulted in kidney damage.
The blood check will be post-treatment.When I spoke with them on the phone they mentioned checking her blood every 30 days and then every 6 months. Not sure of the time period for each though. I should find out more Friday.
Thanks, we are all making our part.So I think it's important to share that experience and try to make sure that the information I didn't have is available. I'm glad you're also active on this forum to let people know about the iodine treatment.
