Radiocat Arizona

For pet owners in Arizona, the health of your feline companion is of utmost importance. When your cat is diagnosed with a condition as serious as hyperthyroidism, you want to find the best possible care available. Radiocat Arizona is a specialized animal hospital and veterinary pharmacy dedicated exclusively to providing the most effective and safe treatment for feline hyperthyroidism: radioactive iodine therapy (I-131). We are a unique facility in the Phoenix area, focusing our expertise entirely on this specific, and often complex, medical need. Our team is committed to delivering a high standard of care in a calm and controlled environment, ensuring that your cat receives the specialized attention required for a successful treatment and a full recovery. We work closely with your primary care veterinarian to provide a seamless and effective course of treatment, with the ultimate goal of curing your cat's hyperthyroidism and returning them to a state of optimal health.

Radiocat Arizona is conveniently located in the heart of Phoenix at 4015 E Cactus Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032. This central location ensures accessibility for cat owners throughout the greater metropolitan area and beyond. While we do not have specific public data on accessibility features like a wheelchair accessible entrance or parking, our specialized nature as an animal hospital and veterinary pharmacy means we prioritize the comfort and safety of all our clients. We understand that traveling with a cat, especially one with a medical condition, can be stressful. Our facility is designed to be a quiet and calm space, minimizing stress for both you and your pet.

Radiocat Arizona's services are highly specialized, focusing on a single, highly effective treatment for feline hyperthyroidism. The core service we provide is:

• Radioiodine (I-131) Therapy: The gold standard for treating and curing feline hyperthyroidism. This single, non-surgical treatment safely and effectively destroys the thyroid tumor without harming surrounding healthy tissue or other organs.

Because our focus is so specific, we can provide an unparalleled level of expertise in this area. We are a veterinary pharmacy as well, providing the necessary radioactive medication on-site. The treatment process involves an initial examination and a subcutaneous injection of the radioactive iodine. Your cat will then be hospitalized for a short period in a specially designated nuclear medicine ward to allow their radiation levels to decrease to a safe level, in accordance with federal and state regulations. We work in conjunction with your referring veterinarian, who handles all pre- and post-therapy workups, allowing us to focus on the specialized treatment itself.

Radiocat Arizona stands out as a top choice for feline hyperthyroidism treatment due to a number of key features and highlights.

• Unmatched Expertise: We are exclusively focused on treating feline hyperthyroidism with I-131 therapy. This specialization means our staff and facilities are expertly trained and equipped to handle every aspect of this treatment with a level of precision and experience that is unmatched. The Radiocat network has successfully treated over 80,000 cats, more than any other provider in the world.
• Non-Invasive and Safe Treatment: I-131 therapy is a non-surgical procedure that requires no anesthesia. It is administered through a single, painless injection, similar to a routine vaccination. This avoids the risks and complications associated with surgery, such as damage to the parathyroid glands.
• Highly Effective Cure: Radioactive iodine therapy is the only method that consistently and permanently cures feline hyperthyroidism by eliminating the thyroid tumors. It has a spectacular success rate, with about 95% of cases cured with just one injection.
• No Long-Term Medication: Unlike medical management options that require daily pilling for the rest of your cat's life, I-131 therapy offers a permanent solution, eliminating the need for daily medication and the associated stress on both the cat and owner.
• Minimal Side Effects: The treatment has no harmful side effects and does not cause damage to healthy thyroid tissue, liver, or kidneys.
• Dedicated and Compassionate Staff: Our team is comprised of experienced technicians and veterinarians who provide loving care for our "radiocats" during their hospital stay. We go the extra mile to ensure they are comfortable, and we obtain information about their favorite foods and habits to make their stay as stress-free as possible.
