Continuous care
Your cat will need to be carefully monitored and returned for follow–up appointments on a regular basis.
A series of blood tests will need to be carried out before starting treatment and after 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 20 weeks. Assessing the response to treatment in this way enables the veterinary surgeon to monitor for possible side–effects to Felimazole® therapy or check for the development of any unrelated complications.
After these initial appointments, and once your veterinary surgeon is happy that your cat is stable, you will normally just need to visit every three months to monitor your cat's condition. At some stages it may be necessary to adjust the dose of Felimazole® prescribed.
Felimazole® will resolve the outward signs of hyperthyroidism whilst your cat is being treated but it does not cure the disease. Even if you notice dramatic physical improvements to your cat's health this does not mean that you should stop treatment.
