Radioactive Iodine (I-131) Therapy for Cats
We are proud to offer Radioactive Iodine (I-131) therapy, the gold standard treatment for feline hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is a common condition in older cats that can lead to weight loss, increased aploved oneite, restlessness, vomiting, and heart complications if left untreated. I-131 therapy provides a safe, highly effective, and often curative solution.
This treatment works by administering a small, targeted dose of radioactive iodine that selectively destroys overactive thyroid tissue while sparing healthy surrounding cells. In most cases, a single treatment permanently resolves the condition, eliminating the need for daily medication or ongoing management.
Why Choose I-131 Therapy?
- Highly effective with cure rates over 95%
- No need for daily pills or long-term medication
- Non-invasive—no surgery or anesthesia required
- Targets only abnormal thyroid tissue
- Improves quality of life and long-term health
What to Expect
Your cat will stay with us in a specialized, state-compliant treatment area for several days while radiation levels safely decrease. During this time, our trained team closely monitors your loved one and ensures they remain comfortable and well cared for.
Once discharged, you’ll receive clear instructions for a short period of at-home precautions to ensure safety for you and your family.
We are committed to providing advanced, compassionate care and are happy to discuss whether I-131 therapy is the right option for your cat. Please contact us to schedule a consultation or learn more.
