And, in case anyone reads this post and thinks a diet change is the best way to treat hyperT in cats (hint: it's not), here is an article by an endocrine specialist explaining better options: http://animalendocrine.blogspot.ca/2...edium=facebook

I'm glad your cat is doing better, but I hope your vet explained the pros and cons of going the prescription diet route and didn't just tout it as the holy grail of treatment. The ingredients are so totally wrong for an obligate carnivore. While it may indeed help lower T4 levels, at what cost to the rest of the cat?
