Hi all I'm new, and had a question that I hope someone can answer.
My cat, Luna, was just recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I noticed she started acting really odd by sleeping in places she never would before, and then she started losing weight, so I brought her to the vet and we found out she had hyperthyroidism.
I found out there's a place about an hour away that does the radioactive iodine treatment, and I'm completely willing to shell out a 1,000 dollars for my kitty (even though I'm a poor college student. ) But also I'm wondering if anyone here has ever had their cat go through that treatment before? And if so did you cat's behavior change back to the way it was? Also, were there any side effects?
I'm going to talk with the vet on Friday about all of this, but I thought it might be helpful to know some details from people who have had their cat go through this before.
Thanks.
