Why Choose I-131 Treatment?

I-131 is not just a treatment, but a cure! Radioactive iodine therapy avoids the stress and complications of surgery, as well as the ongoing costs and side effects of medication. With just one painless injection, your cat typically stays with us for only 4 days. There are no significant side effects. Our success rate is impressive: 98% of cats treated with radioactive iodine do not require further radioactive treatment. Approximately 3% may need re-treatment due to factors like interfering medications, a larger tumor mass, or a cancerous tumor. About 5% may require daily thyroid supplementation with a small, low-side-effect tablet of thyroxine.
