> > I give my cat the transdermal form too (on the ears). She had a bad reaction to the pills. I actually find it's quicker to do the cream than the pills. I think if their last test was in normal range, 3-4 months is how often it is recommended you have them checked. Have you considered any of the alternative treatments (radioiodine?)

Hi Snoozy. Yes, the cream is faster than the pills, but my cat tries to clean it off all the time, so she's getting some of it orally anyway. She got VERY sick from the oral form. She had SEVERE vomiting that persisted for several weeks after stopping the oral form. I had to bring her to the vet almost every other day for IV fluids during that time. Yes, I have considered the radioiodine, but I'm worried about that, too. The cats have to be isolated for about a week or so, with virtually no human contact. My cat doesn't board well anyway, so I can just imagine how bad she would be in total isolation. I don't know. I'll have to see how things go with the cream. I have to give my cat the cream twice a day. Are you considering the radioiodine? Where would you have that done?Bekka
