Exciting News: Our Radioiodine Treatment Centre for Cats has Relaunched!

Are you concerned about your feline patients' health, particularly if they've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism? We have fantastic news for you! We are thrilled to announce the re-opening of a state-of-the-art Radioiodine Treatment Centre for Cats, offering a long term solution for feline hyperthyroidism in a safe, effective, and stress-free environment. Based in Godstone, Surrey, easily accessible via M25 Junction 6.

Why Choose Radioiodine Treatment?

Feline hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity, and other health complications, but there is an advanced, proven solution: radioiodine (I-131) therapy.

Non-Invasive & Safe: No surgery or anaesthesia is required. Radioiodine treatment targets only the overactive thyroid cells, leaving the healthy parts of the thyroid intact.
Highly Effective: With a success rate of over 95%, this one-time treatment provides a permanent cure for most cats.
Minimal Stress for the Cat: Unlike daily medication, which can be stressful and a struggle for both the owner and the cat, radioiodine treatment involves a simple, single injection.

Our Cutting-Edge Facility

Our centre is designed with the cat’s comfort and safety in mind. With a specialised team of veterinary professionals experienced in treating hyperthyroidism, you can trust that the cat is in the best hands. Features of our facility include:

Comfortable Recovery Suites: Spacious, cosy areas for the cat to relax and recover during their short stay, normally 10 days.
Expert Care: Our veterinary team closely monitors every patient to ensure a smooth recovery.
State-of-the-Art Technology: We use the latest equipment to provide the safest and most effective treatments available.

The Benefits of Early Treatment

Hyperthyroidism, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications like heart disease, high blood pressure, and weight loss. Early intervention with radioiodine therapy is essential to improving your cat’s quality of life and longevity. The sooner the treatment, the quicker the cat can return to their happy, healthy self.

Candidate for Radioiodine Treatment?

If the cat has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism or is showing symptoms like rapid weight loss, increased thirst, or excessive vocalisation, it’s time to act. Please call one of our friendly team who will be happy to offer assistance and advice or complete an online referral form, to see if radioiodine therapy is the right option for your patient.

Radioiodine can help our feline friends with Hypothyroidism live a longer, healthier life.
