My cat won't take thyroid meds. Are there easier ways or radiation?

Question

We have a cat with a thyroid condition. He has to have medicine 2x a day but it is tough to hold him to give him the medicine. We have been giving it to him once a day by mouth but the Vet said that's not enough. He said that we could try radiation on him. We heard of a place in Wakefeild, Ma. that does this. Do you have any information on this place? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 10 months old

You can use a transdermal gel to treat Max's thyroid condition. This gel is applied to the inner ear and is absorbed through the skin. Discuss this option as well as radioactive iodine Therapy with your veterinarian. There is a company in Stamford, Connecticut that performs the treatment.
