Hi. Our older female cat Charcole, age 16, has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism due to weight loss and enlarged gland in neck. she will be on the antithyroid medication. Anyone ever experience this? What is the logical outlook? I know surgery is an option, but is it risky with an older cat? What I really want to know, is if anyone has gone through this with their cat, and what happened, thanks.
