Radioactive iodine treatment is the least invasive, safest, and most effective treatment for hyperthyroidism in cats. It eliminates the inconveniences of daily drug administration and the side effects associated with this administration. A single treatment is necessary in more than 95% of cases. Iodine-131 is absorbed and metabolized only by thyroid tissue, and this treatment destroys abnormally functioning thyroid cells. 20-60% of the administered dose of I-131 is absorbed by the gland, the rest is eliminated in urine and faeces. A normal value of thyroid hormone is usually found in the month following treatment.
