Received dose variability after administration of I-131 for treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Injectable radioactive iodine (I-131) frequently is used to treat hyperthyroidism in cats. In human medicine, residual activity after injection of radionuclides has been reported, and the actual quantity administered is recorded after administration.

Objective

Our aim was to evaluate actual administered dose variability after administration of preprepared I-131 single unit doses for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats.

Animals

Twenty-seven cats with hyperthyroidism treated with I-131 between April 2017 and March 2019.

Methods

Retrospective observational study of cats treated with preprepared single unit I-131 doses. For each dose, the measured activity before administration and residual activity were recorded. The measured dose and the actual do
