Radioiodine Therapy - Veterinary Referral Centre
Excess thyroid function (hyperthyroidism) is one of the most common diseases diagnosed in cats as they get older.
There are a number of ways to treat this condition which, left untreated, will cause deterioration in your cat’s health.
The Veterinary Referral Centre is delighted to offer radioactive iodine therapy, the gold standard in treating feline hyperthyroidism.
The process involves administering a single injection of radioactive iodine to your cat. The radioactive iodine destroys the cancerous overactive thyroid cells without damaging normal thyroid tissue. This is completely painless.
