Cat Hyperthyroidism: Symptoms and Treatments
Hyperthyroidism in cats happens when the thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormone as a result of abnormal functioning. Typically affecting older cats, cat hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrine disease we see in the species. It affects both males and females equally, and any breed can develop the disorder — with Siamese cats showing somewhat increased incidence compared to other breeds.
