Your beloved cat may feel miserable or restless
if it has a health problem like hyperthyroidism, which affects humans too. Hyperthyroidism
(also called thyrotoxicosis or hyperthyroid disease) is a common health problem
that usually affects middle-aged or older cats. This disease is due to an
abnormal boost in the production of thyroid hormones and causes an enlarged
thyroid gland (which is, about 90 to 95% of the time, not cancerous). If left
untreated, hyperthyroidism can worsen and put your cat's life in danger or cut
it down by a large percentage.
Observe your cat and be sure to look out for
symptoms such as a significant rise in or frequency of urination, excessive
thirst, an unusual rise in body temperature, unusually untidy appearance, and
hyperactivity. Do note that such symptoms are also present in other cat
diseases, so you need to consult your veterinary
clinic Frisco TX immediately for a more accurate diagnosis or possible
operation (if necessary).
