Professionalism

My 15 year old cat became extremely sick after Dr. Mark Peterson's radioiodine treatment - she came home vomiting and with terrible diarrhea (both radioactive) - stopped eating for days. I ended up needing to bring in multiple-interventions with other vets. Nobody on Dr. Mark Peterson's staff could explain why this was happening but of course chose the explanation of "atypical reaction". Some months later, my cat died. Dr. Mark Peterson's input = none. Never heard from him after her "atypical reaction" or after she died. I ask you - should this be allowed in practice?

Preventive Care

Vaccination
Once we determine your cat’s radioiodine dose, it is injected in a small volume (1-ml) under the skin (subcutaneously), exactly like a routine vaccination. There is absolutely no discomfort associated with this injection, and the entire procedure takes less than 1 minute.
Nutritional Counseling
The destructive effects of this disorder, hit us on many levels. It seemed as if our poor cats were possessed by an evil, unseen force, robbing us of the familiar, happy creatures we knew and loved and replacing them with sullen strangers with vacant stares. The weight loss was horrifying and we feared the worst.
Comprehensive Examination
• Records must include the history (including treatment with methimazole), physical examination, routine blood work (e.g., complete blood count [CBC], serum biochemical profile, and urinalysis), and any serum thyroid hormone testing.

Infection Treatment

Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Some investigators have reported that hyperthyroid cats are susceptible to urinary tract infections, which may be subclinical and go undetected. This could contribute the development of chronic kidney disease, a common problem in older cats.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Over the last 45-plus years, Dr. Peterson has directed most of his research toward advancing our understanding of endocrine disorders in dogs and cats. He is especially interested in hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus in cats and hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, Cushing’s syndrome, and Addison’s disease in dogs. Dr. Peterson was the first veterinarian to document hyperthyroidism in cats (1979) and the first to treat hyperthyroid cats with radioiodine (1980). In addition to hyperthyroidism, Dr. Peterson was the first person to document a number of “new” diseases in cats, including acromegaly, hypoparathyroidism, insulinoma, and Addison’s disease.
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Sophie is a senior at Barnard College studying chemistry, who serves as the Animal Endocrine Clinic’s clinical research coordinator. She is hoping and planning to attend veterinary school in the near future. She started at the clinic in February 2021 and has enjoyed drawing on her chemistry background and love for animals to help cats with hyperthyroidism.
Heart Disease Treatment
Excess thyroid hormone accelerates most bodily processes and gradually causes the clinical signs that are apparent to most owners. The most consistent finding is weight loss secondary to the hyperthyroid cat’s increased rate of metabolism. Most cats try to compensate for their weight loss and increased rate of metabolism by eating more (increased appetite). In fact, some of these cats have a ravenous appetite and will eat literally anything in sight! However, despite the increased food intake, most cats lose weight. While the weight loss may happen quickly, it may also be so gradual that some owners will not even realize it has occurred. Other signs of hyperthyroidism may include anxiety or nervousness, a rapid, pounding heart rate, muscle weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst or urination, heat intolerance (panting), and an unkempt hair coat. Over time, untreated or poorly controlled hyperthyroidism leads to deleterious effects on many of the cat's internal organs. Heart failure, kidney and liver disease, muscle wasting, chronic emaciation, and/or severe metabolic dysfunction can develop, ultimately leading to death.
Kidney Disease Treatment
We will review your cat’s kidney tests and urinalysis prior to admitting your cat to Hypurrcat. If we find any signs of chronic kidney disease, we will begin prophylactic measures to control the kidney disease while your cat is being treated. Even in cats with healthy kidneys, we always repeat kidney tests at the end of the treatment to ensure that kidney function has not deteriorated.

Laboratory Services
3. Another important reason to do scintigraphy is to allow Dr. Peterson to accurately determine your cat’s thyroid tumor volume. Obviously, cats with larger amounts of tumor tissue will need higher doses of radioiodine (see figure below), but the severity of hyperthyroid disease frequently cannot be adequately determined with thyroid blood tests alone. Thyroid scanning is the only way to determine the volume of thyroid tumor tissue that your cat has that needs to be destroyed.
X-Ray
For hyperthyroid cats being referred for radioiodine treatment, Dr. Peterson will review the cat’s medical records and will advise you, as primary veterinarian, about any additional testing that may be needed (e.g., repeat blood work, chest x-rays, ultrasound) before we see the cat for
