Hi Everyone! My name is Dan, and I am a veterinarian. I am talking about cat hyperthyroidism today. An overactive thyroid is very common in older cats.
Hyperthyroidism is a common disease in cats, and mostly afflicts cats middle-aged and older. Also called thyrotoxicosis, hyperthyroidism is caused by an increase in production of thyroid hormones (known as T3 and T4) from an enlarged thyroid gland in a cats neck.

How Is Hyperthyroidism in Cats Treated? There are a few different treatment options available for cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Your veterinarian can help you choose the treatment that is best for you and your cat.
Although most hyperthyroid cats show a good or increased appetite and restlessness, in some cats there may be generalised weakness, lethargy/tiredness and loss of appetite. What causes hyperthyroidism?
