Radioactive Iodine

Hi All,

Have a little query for anyone who has had a radioactive iodine injection on their cat.

After treatment did you have a follow up blood test and were your cats kidney's okay?

My cat's urea level is 11.4 (should be between 6.0 - 10.0) and I have her booked in for Tuesday and am now doubting that I have done the right thing, as I read that hyperthyroidism can mask kidney issues.

Am worried because if I cure the hyperthyroidism she may end up with kidney issues and read that it can't be treated with tablets only by diet :(

Eeeekkkk have paid my deposit and am now wondering if I've done the right thing for my furbaby.

If anyone has had a similar issue I'd be so grateful for advice or details of your experience. I have emailed my vet last night to explain my concern, am hoping he will contact me tomorrow with his advice and I can go from there.

Thanks
A very worried Mad Cat Lady!
