Your cat is young. If his kidneys test ok, I would go with the
radioiodine. My cat was 18 when diagnosed and it would have probably
killed him to be away from home for that period of time. The pills
kept him alive to 20, but he still had all the symptoms of thirst and
hunger and never gained weight.

I would do the radioiodine in a younger cat for sure!


I'm a little leery about the radiation and my wife being pregnant. I'll
ask the doctor if there's any risk...
