Hope Tiger is feeling better soon.
we had this done to Enza this summer. After the dr told me that the radiation emitted from my cat after 2 days in the vet hospital was equivalent to what i got on an international flight we decided we were NOT going to quarantine her in any way. She got better so fast. She's a happy relaxed cat now. it was worth it. I'm glad we were able to afford it !

That exactly what our vet told us about the flight and radiation.
I called today to see how she was doing, they told me she was actually sleeping when I called, but that she is doing well and no signs of any side effects. I'm glad we were able to get this done for her.
for a few weeks afterwards, Enza occasionally coughed and choked a little while eating or drinking, like something was swollen. then she healed up and ah, right now she's on my lap sleeping. It was worth it.

Thank you all so much for sharing your experiances and for the warm wishes. They all mean a great deal to me.
I just had my 11 year old cat go through the radioactive iodine treatment in July. I tried the pills for a couple of months but he reacted horribly by having uncontrollable vomiting, so I had no choice but to do the iodine. I don't regret it, even though it cost an arm and a leg. His 3 month blood test showed his T4 level at the low range of normal - I just hope he hasn't swung the other way to becoming hypothyroid!!
And I guess it's an age issue, but my cat also needed dental work (for him before the treatment as it was pustulating). My neighbour's cat also needed both dental and hyperthyroid treatment, too.
Good luck!! I found the post-treatment the most difficult, not being able to cuddle or sleep with him for 10 days.
