Feline Hyperthroidism
Nov 21, 2016
What is Feline Hyperthyroidism?
Feline Hyperthyroidism is a condition that is caused when the thyroid gland of a cat is overactive. This means that it produces a great deal more than the normal amount of thyroid hormones that are released into the bloodstream.
More times than not this condition is actually the result of a benign tumor that is sometimes referred to as an adenoma. It normally involves one or both of the cat’s thyroid lobes
. Unfortunately, feline hyperthyroidism is the most well-known disease of the feline endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of the glands that secrete the hormones into the cat’s bloodstream. The hormones are what regulate a large number of the body’s functions.
Some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism in felines may include (but are not limited to):
- Weight loss despite a normal or even increased appetite
- Increased thirst
- Increase urination
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Changes in normal behavior patterns
- Rapid heartbeat
- Occasional weakness
- Occasional decreased appetite
- High blood pressure
It is important to realize that your feline may or may not present more than one of these symptoms. However, if your cat presents any of the symptoms it is a very good idea to visit the veterinarian and get the diagnostics and then you can decide if you are going to treat this disease holistically.
Obviously, the sooner you are able to catch the condition the better off your cat is going to be.
I would recommend getting your pet on colloidal silver first off as a preventative and immune booster!!
No specific breed is more prone to the condition than others. However, it is a condition that is more commonly found in older cats, specifically cats that are eight years or older. There have also been theories regarding whether the consumption of canned food can be linked to the condition. the PBC’s in the can is suspect. ALso environmental toxins are another possible issue.
There are currently three different treatment options for cat owners to choose from. Naturally, each treatment option comes attached with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Typically, which treatment option is used ends up depending on other medical conditions that your feline has.
Medication is the first treatment option. Unfortunately, it is not an option that is going to cure the condition. It is only going to control the condition. This treatment option is going to require that you give your cat their medication every single day for the rest of your life. Short term, medication is going to be the cheapest treatment option.
But, in the long run it can get very expensive. Surgery and radioactive iodine treatment are the other two treatment options. Both treatment options are expensive and can be extremely dangerous. If they are successful, your cat will live the rest of its life without the condition.
