Hey guys,
Posted here a few days ago and our vet visit revealed that our guy Xiao Hua (little mix in Chinese) has hyperthyroidism. The vet has him on Methimazole for a month to see how he responds, and if all goes according to plan the vet suggested the radioactive iodine therapy for him.
It sounds scary to me, especially since your cat comes home still being radioactive. We also have two cats, so I'm just worried about how all that will work out. I've done a bunch of research on this procedure but I'd really love to hear first hand experiences. Did you have your cat go through with I-131 and what did you guys think of the experience?
Thanks.
