>**********************************************Hi Snoozy. Wow, that kitty condo place sounds great! I wish I could find a place like that. I did find a fairly decent kennel not far from where I live, but the cat cages are so small! Is that place anywhere near the New York City area? If it is, I just might use it. (By the way, if you don't want to say where it is for privacy reasons, that's OK).
I heard about a place that gives the radioiodine treatments called "Radiocat" or something like that. I think it's a nationwide chain, believe or not. I have to do more research on this for all the reasons you mentioned. In addition, the transdermal methimazole is pretty expensive each month, and I figure that after about two and a half years, it would cost the same as the radioiodine treatments, which are about $1,000.00, I believe. Do you have any other cats? I heard that if you have other cats, you have to be very careful when you bring the hyperthyroid cat home from the radioiodine facility. You have to make sure the cats aren't in close contact for about a week, and you can't let the healthier cat get near the litter box of the treated cat. I'll find out more about that place and I'll let you know.
Take care.
