Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Male | neutered | 7 months and 23 days old | 9.5 lbs
My Bengal kitten is 7.5 months old, he weighs 9.5lbs, hungry and thirsty all the time and urinates about 5 times a day. He’s super active and aggressive. Can he have hyperthyroidism?

Hi! It would be unusual for a young cat to have hyperthyroidism. He may just be going through a growth spurt but I would also recommend an exam with your vet to make sure Rafa is doing well physically. Best wishes! Thanks for using Pet Coach!

Hi. It is highly unlikely that young he would have hyperthyroidism. I would get him seen and speak to your veterinarian about your concerns. I would recommend a fecal exam as well to rule out parasites
