My cat, Button, is borderline hyperthyroid. The vet will retest in a few months and suggests radioactive iodine treatment if T4 rises. I’m all for it as it is the best solution. My concern: I am hypothyroid and am concerned about the gamma and beta radiation that she will be emitting for several weeks and it’s impact on my thyroid. There is no one else in the household that can take care of her.
Has anyone with hypothyroidism (and/or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) cared for their cat after radioactive iodine treatment? Did you have any issues…what did you do?
thanks.
