    Hyperthyroidism - Considering Iodine Treatment

    Hi Antonio. Thanks for responding, I read all your other threads. Yes he gets a scintigraphy on 12/29 and that will determine treatment for following day. The center I'm taking it talks about that on their website. www.avmi.net

    Hyperthyroidism - Considering Iodine Treatment

    Mortimer has an appointment at www.avmi.net on December 29th. They will perform the Scintigrophy that day and if he's all set will be treated the following day. My only wish is that I could've gotten him treated sooner.

    13 Year Old Voice Has Changed

    Just to provide some clarity as well, he's been seen by two different Vets, and outside of this raspy voice issue and the occasional drool/wet nose he is acting just fine, eating, and drinking. Thats why we are at a loss to what is going on. =/. I just want his beautiful voice to be normal...

    what tests would need to be conducted to verify or rule this out? Yes I do not believe it is anything in his throat as he's had two endoscopies as well as the first endoscopy sample came back negative for cancer.
