I don't live in the United States.Heard from another clinic that this treatment was cheaper than ten thousand. I still can't afford it even if it is three thousand.

I stated in my initial post that I already tried the food option. He had some other dry food accidently a few days before a blood test. He tested hyper. after 2 months on all food treatment except for the forementioned time. He didn't like the taste of the food much. Thanks anyway silken paw.

Thanks Daisy. The reason I can't do it is because of the cost. I couldn't even borrow that kind of money !

Thanks for this info.

Radioactive iodine is extremely expensive ! I was told it would cost about ten thousand dollars including the hospital stay time. I would do it though, if I could. I don't have anything to sell worth ten thousand. My cat is very likely allergic to the medicine. I wouldn't get surgery done. I...

Oops, sorry -Meaning to ask catwoman707 this question

Vet suggested lower dose liquid form but will ask him about ear gel form. Thanks. Did you cat experience ANY side effects on this drug ?

Thanks so much for giving me some guidelines by which to decide when "it's that time". Wasn't sure how to decide this and I keep going back and forth - for or against. Don't know of any other med. that's available here.

Hyperthyroidism can cause cardiomyopathy in cats. 2.5 mg twice daily. Dose was too high, when retested he was hypo. Allergic reaction was lots of scratching, a lick granuola on his thigh from licking it so much, and bleeding raw skin near the ear from scratching alot.

Hyperthyroidism is a condition that speeds up the metabolic rate of all organs eventually wearing them out. My sick cat has been on a higher fibre diet, dry and wet food - Royal Canin.

My cats names are Timmy and Morris.There are no other medications available where I live.

My cat got another t4 test for hyperthyroidism. He should have tested below 40 and he is at 58, so he is hyperthyroid. He was allergic to tapazole so I tried him on hyperthyroid food for two months but he ate a little of the other cat's food so the vet said that may be why he tested high.I think...

If anyone knows of a animal based protein powder without ANY iron in it at all and made for cats kindly please let me know !

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I would gladly feed my cat almost any animal protein food but because Timothy has a faulty thyroid he can only have Hill's yd in wet and dry. He can't even have his teeth brushed with vet approved toothpaste. Extremely strict diet ! I can only use water and a toothbrush...

Thanks Azazal for replying to my post. I've had my Timothy aka Timone at 3 different vet clinics and all 3 vets wanted to treat him in the same way. There is a cat only clinic not too far away from me and I talked to one of their technicians on the phone about my cat's situation. The tech. told...

I am very concerned about my cat's low weight and muscle wasting. He has had soft stools since the end of 2015. My vet told me to put myTimothy on Royal Canin Gastro food, which is mainly grains and is a high fibre diet to firm up his stools. It turned out my cat was hyperthyroid and that...

Unfortunately, he can't have any probiotics on this diet. I can't even continue to brush his teeth with toothpaste from the vet clinic. I have to use only tooth brush and water. And no catnip or anything other than his thyroid food. I have to follow strick rules or his treatment won't be effective.

Thanks Antonio65. I don't have the option of radio iodine for my cat, way too expensive. Because my cat was allergic to the pill he'll also be allergic to the ear gel. I may have no choice but to give him this food (if I can't find another) for the rest of his life.
