I’ve got a couple questions about this info. We were kinda taught that an Echo is highly recommended, is this not the case in the UK? Secondly, before treatment, we do a Methimazole trial. Obviously, if you’re using Methimazole as the sole treatment, it’s not a trial but generally if the cat becomes azotémic, we supplement with Soloxine then slowly wean off to let the cat’s body acclimatize and strike a balance with the Methimazole.
Problems with the transdermal in the UK are largely because only one company produces it and has a questionable quality control. Properly used, transdermal can be at least as successful as pills. Of course, the trick is in figuring out "proper."
Thank you so much for the great presentation
If vet prices werent so high we might be able to do this.😢
