Welcome
i131 New Hampshire is a specialized veterinary service at the Capital Area Veterinary Emergency & Specialists (VCA-CAVES) in Concord, New Hampshire, which is dedicated exclusively to the care and treatment of feline hyperthyroidism using radioactive iodine injection (i131), the only cure for the disease.
Many older cats develop a thyroid disease where too much thyroid hormone is produced. This elevated hormone causes your cat's metabolism to run too high, causing weight loss, heart disease and kidney disease. Other signs can include hyperactivity or lethargy, appetite changes, increased drinking, behavioral changes, and/or diarrhea. Left untreated, hyperthyroidism is fatal.
