    6 Month update on cat with hyperthyroidism

    Hey everybody! I just wanted to update anybody who is interested about our experience with this disease. Cookie was diagnosed with a hyperthyroid six months ago. I opted for the methimazole transdermal treatment. At the 3-month mark, her T4 number came down from the 'high' range to the 'high...

    Update on Hyperthyroid diagnosis

    Yes. If she's on the meds then she shouldn't eat the Science Diet Thyroid food. She can have her normal cat food while being on the meds. The first time I took her to the new Vet she had been on the special diet for a few weeks. I had to wait a day and let that get out of her system before...

    Update on Hyperthyroid diagnosis

    This is an update on my cat's (Cookie) progress with her meds for hyperthyroidism. She was diagnosed 4 months ago with the disease. The Vet who diagnosed her wasn't very helpful, and I didn't know the questions to ask in that moment, so I changed Vets and am happy with that decision. Her...

    Treating hyperthyroidism

    Thank you all for your valuable info! It's disheartening to go to a Vet that you trust and then you're given very little information about a serious condition that you're just discovering (I wasn't sure what I needed to ask in that moment!). She just said that they treat it with diet because...

    Treating hyperthyroidism

    Hello All! My 11 yr old cat was just diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. All of her other blood work came back good, so we caught it early. My Vet said that the oral meds for this can sometimes make a cat feel worse, so she suggested managing it with diet. I really didn't know the right...

    My cat's hyperthyroidism is successfully treated with a low-iodine diet.

    Hello! I am new to the forums and stumbled on this particular thread with a search of info for cats with hyperthyroidism. I am glad that your Buddy is doing well.
