Feline hyperthyroidism remains one of the most common endocrine disorders in aging cats, with significant impacts on cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic health. While medical and dietary management can control hormone levels, they do not halt disease progression. This session reviews emerging diagnostic tools that allow for earlier detection, discusses the limitations of medical and nutritional therapy, and emphasizes the long-term benefits of definitive treatment. Attendees will gain updated insights into curative options, including radioiodine therapy and surgery, and the evidence showing improved longevity and quality of life in cured cats.
