  • Title: Juvenile hyperthyroidism in a cat.
    Author: Gordon JM, Ehrhart EJ, Sisson DD, Jones MA.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2003; 39(1):67-71. PubMed ID: 12549616.
    Abstract:
    An 8-month-old, male domestic shorthaired cat presented for chronic weight loss, intermittent dyspnea, chronic diarrhea, hyperactivity, and weakness. The cat had a palpable thyroid nodule and increased serum total thyroxine and 3,5,3' triiodothyronine levels. The cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and a unilateral thyroidectomy was performed followed by radioactive iodine at a later date. The clinical signs resolved following radioactive iodine, and the cat subsequently developed clinical hypothyroidism.
