I've been treating one of my cats for hyperthyroidism with methimazole for a couple of years, but her values keep climbing, so we're looking at radioiodine treatment. I've had lots of diagnostic tests run on her, including an echocardiogram and a thyroid ultrasound. She's 15, but still otherwise pretty healthy. It's expensive, but I don't have kids. The clinic claims 96% success.
Have any members here had radioiodine hyperthyroidism treatment? I'm slightly concerned about stress to her since she's never been away from home for more than a few hours. I guess I can take her with a t-shirt I've worn, and they can just throw it away after if they're worried about contamination. Any other ways to ease stress for a 4-5 day clinic stay?
