Small Animal Referral Hospital Radioactive Iodine

The Feline Centre has more than 30 years of experience treating hyperthyroid cats with radioactive iodine. It is one of a few centres able to provide this treatment, but also has the facility to treat cats with thyroid carcinoma using a high-dose protocol.

• We have over 30 years experience of providing radioiodine treatment and are passionate about treating our hyperthyroid patients
• Ensuring radioiodine is the best treatment for your cat and that their stay in our hospital is as stress free as possible is paramount to us; we understand how difficult it can be to leave a loved cat for an extended period of time but we prioritise getting to know your cat, their preferences and how they cope best in the hospital.
• We have dedicated radioiodine nurses overseeing your cat’s journey through our hospital.
• We have a 'Cat Friendly' approach to working with cats and are a gold standard ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic
• We have cattery style accommodation with large bespoke walk-in pens in our radioiodine wards with webcams and radios playing cat specific music to make your cat’s stay as comfortable as possible
• Our Feline Centre is run by RCVS Feline Medicine Specialists, who work closely with our large team of Specialists including imaging and cardiology
• We assess your cat holistically, to provide the very best recommendations for your cat and its thyroid disease, taking into account that hyperthyroid cats are often older cats with concurrent diseases
• We can flexibly adjust the dose of radioiodine exactly to your cat’s own requirements; we use variable dosing from standard through to very high dose therapy (for thyroid carcinoma and chronic severe hyperthyroidism)
• We have pioneered the use of high dose therapy for cats with thyroid carcinoma in the UK
