PetLifeRadio.com - The Pet Doctor - Episode 129 Hyperthyroidism In Cats- A Very Common Problem with Many Options- A Must Listen Show for Any

In this episode we will discuss a very common problem that happens in older cats- it’s a disease that has become much more common since the 1980s and is something that has been a difficult one to figure out. There turns out to be a good reason why older cats eat like crazy but still become very thin, they drink tons of water all the time and their hyperactive behavior keeps their owners up at night! It is very likely that the symptoms are due to an over-active thyroid gland, also called hyperthyroidism. There is a great deal of information on Feline Hyperthyroidism that has been learned in the last 20 years- what is it from? Why is it so common? What are the long-term effects on our cats and how can we prevent it?

He is known worldwide for his research and contributions to veterinary medicine and veterinary endocrinology and is the go to person in the world when it comes to feline hyperthyroidism and many other veterinary endocrinology topics.
