Although the growth itself is usually benign, the damage to an animal\u2019s body that can result are often life threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Feline hyperthyroidism most often affects middle-aged and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/senior-pet-health-and-wellness\/\">senior<\/a> cats. Learning how to recognize and treat this disease is key to keeping your kitty\u2019s good health going long into his or her golden years.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Systemic Problems<\/h3>\n<p>Because thyroid hormones affect nearly organ in the body, hyperthyroidism can cause widespread secondary health concerns. Increased metabolism, heart rate, and blood pressure caused by hyperthyroidism can have deleterious effects on the heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain.<\/p>\n<h3>Spotting Hyperthyroidism In Cats<\/h3>\n<p>The symptoms of hyperthyroidism in cats can be similar to other disorders, such as diabetes, kidney failure, and even intestinal cancer. A thorough examination by your veterinarian is essential for the accurate diagnosis of feline hyperthyroidism.<\/p>\n<p>Bring your pet in to see us right away if he or she is exhibiting any of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Increased appetite<\/li>\n<li>Increased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/dehydration-in-pets\/\">water<\/a> consumption<\/li>\n<li>Increased urination<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting\/diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Behavior changes such as hyperactivity, aggression, vocalization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Screening for hyperthyroidism is routine for older cats, all the more reason to keep up with kitty\u2019s regularly scheduled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/veterinary-services\/pet-wellness.html\">wellness examinations<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>There are a variety of treatment options available for hyperthyroidism in cats. Your veterinarian will work with you to determine the best option for your cat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medication<\/strong> \u2013 Hyperthyroidism can usually be controlled through the administration of antithyroid medication called methimazole. The medicine can either be taken orally or applied topically, and must be administered throughout the lifetime of the cat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surgery<\/strong> \u2013 If your cat is healthy enough for surgery, removal of the thyroid gland can be an effective cure for hyperthyroidism.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Radioactive iodine treatment<\/strong> \u2013 Radioactive iodine treatment is expensive, and must be performed by a licensed facility, but it works. The injection of radioactive iodine is targeted directly to the thyroid, where it destroys the abnormal tissue responsible for the disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diet<\/strong> \u2013 Strict adherence to a low-iodine prescription <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/healthy-pet-foods-eat\/\">diet<\/a> can be helpful in treating hyperthyroidism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on how advanced the hyperthyroidism has become, a cat may need additional treatment to address any secondary conditions that may have developed, such as hypertension or heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term health and wellbeing of your cat is our top priority at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\">Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/a>!
