Hyperthyroidism and cats

The second of my series on most common old age diseases of cats! Hyperthyroidism occurs in 5-10% of cats as they get older. Luckily its a fairly manageable condition and cats can be cured of it, or live a normal life with medical management. Please share with anyone who has a cat in their life!
