My one cat got the I 131 tx, titrated one, not the regular one done by radiocat. She went into CRF after that and went downhill slowly, but she was older. Sometimes when the thyroid is corrected, the kidneys get affected because correcting the thyroid problem stops masking signs of insufficient renal problems that were there all the time.
My other cat is on the transdermal gel and has done fine--gained weight, etc. I would do the gel (cheaper and just as effective) if your cat responds well to it. Good luck with your cat.

Thanks everyone. So far she has been a doll and just taken her pills. I'm hoping it stays that way.

Ok I got the detailed (sort of) blood test results in the mail from my vet.

T4 - 6.1 (normal 1.9-4.8)
Urea N - 44 (normal 18-36)
Red Cell Distribution Width - 16.9 (normal 17-24)

These were the only values that weren't in normal range.

Ask about the transdermal medication to treat the disease. My 16 year old cat has been on it for a year and a half and it is very easy to use. It comes in syringes and you simply squeeze out the dosage amount onto your finger (wearing a glove of course) and rub it on the inside of the cat's ear. They just think you're rubbing their ears.
