My cat has hypothyroidism. What are the best treatment options?

Question

what type of treatment is there for a hypothyroid cat

Tomasz Wnuk · Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism is very uncommon in cats, unless the cat had treatment for overactive thyroid problem (surgery, radioactive iodine). Because it is so uncommon, we do not have any products that are licensed for cats. To treat hypothyroidism in cats, most often we use levothyroxine tablets that are licensed for dogs.
