What are options for treating hyperthyroidism?
Treatment options include: • Medical management: Some pets are not amenable to pilling, not all pets respond well to this treatment or have reactions to the medication, and the condition returns when the drug is no longer administered. • Surgical removal: This may not remove all of the tissue overproducing hormone, not all patients are good surgical candidates at the time of diagnosis. • Radioactive iodine: This is shown to be a safe and effective non-surgical means of treatment that offers potentially permanent resolution of the condition.
