Jana M. Gordon, DVM, E. J. Ehrhart, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVP, D. D. Sisson, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Cardiology) and M. A. Jones, MD

From the Departments of Veterinary Clinical Medicine (Gordon), Pathology/Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (Ehrhart), and Clinical Sciences (Sisson), University of Illinois, 1008 West Hazelwood Drive, Urbana, Illinois 61802 and the Department of Pathology (Jones), Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine 04102.

An 8-month-old, male domestic shorthaired cat presented for chronic weight loss, intermittent dyspnea, chronic diarrhea, hyperactivity, and weakness. The cat had a palpable thyroid nodule and increased serum total thyroxine and 3,5,3’ triiodothyronine levels. The cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and a unilateral thyroidectomy was performed followed by radioactive iodine at a later date. The clinical signs resolved following radioactive iodine, and the cat subsequently developed clinical hypothyroidism.
