Why Board-Certified Radiologists Are Essential
At CATT, our treatments are overseen by board-certified radiologists with specialized training in advanced imaging and precise treatment planning. Their expertise ensures each I-131 dose is tailored to your cat’s individual needs, minimizing risks and optimizing outcomes.
Key benefits of choosing a board-certified radiologist for your cat’s thyroid treatment include:
Customized doses tailored to your cat’s needs
Minimized risks and side effects
Faster, more successful recovery
Expert care informed by advanced training
Not all feline hyperthyroidism treatment options are created equal. With CATT’s radiologist-led approach, your cat receives the precision care they deserve, reducing risk and enhancing recovery–because expertise matters when it comes to your furry friend’s health.
Advanced Imaging for Precise Dosing
At CATT, we use scintigraphy, an advanced imaging technology, to guide precise I-131 dosing for your cat. Scintigraphy acts like a magnifying glass, giving our team a detailed view of your cat’s inner workings. It highlights the overactive tissues that need adjustment while leaving the healthy parts untouched.
By using scintigraphy to guide dosing, we ensure that your cat’s treatment is both safe and effective. This precision reduces side effects and supports a faster recovery, helping your cat feel better sooner.
How We Avoid Over-Treatment
In feline hyperthyroidism, precision isn’t just about effectiveness–it’s also about preventing complications. Excessive I-131 can shrink the thyroid too much, leading to hypothyroidism, where the gland becomes underactive. This can disrupt your cat’s hormone balance and require lifelong thyroid hormone supplementation.
With advanced imaging technologies and expert providers, the risk of overtreatment for thyroid conditions is low.
At CATT, our focus on accurate dosing minimizes these risks. By targeting only the overactive thyroid tissue, we preserve the healthy parts and maintain the delicate balance of your cat’s endocrine system. This careful approach safeguards your cat’s immediate recovery and supports their long-term well-being.
Faster Recovery & Reduced Hospital Stay
Thanks to our advanced technology and exact dosing, most cats stay only two or three days before they’re ready to return home. This means your cat spends less time in the hospital and more time at home, where they belong.
As a cat parent, this means peace of mind knowing your cat is returning to normal sooner, reducing separation anxiety. And for your cat, a shorter stay means less stress and a smoother transition back to their everyday routine.
Compassionate, Cat-Centered Approach
We understand that treating your cat goes beyond medicine—it’s about creating a calm, supportive environment for your cat. From quiet, comfortable spaces to gentle handling by experienced professionals, we ensure your cat feels safe and secure throughout their stay. This includes regular mealtimes to cozy resting areas that feel more like home.
At CATT, pets are treated with the utmost care and respect, as if they were ours. Our compassionate care ensures a smoother journey through cat hyperthyroidism recovery, helping your cat thrive again.
