VICSD Excels in I-131 Treatment with a 98% Success Rate and Guarantee 

Our treatment is recognized as among the best in the nation because of our screening requirements, imaging and treatment expertise, and close, caring communication with pet owners and their vets.

To ensure that the animal is a good candidate for I-131, VICSD pre-screens for renal disease and heart disease. Pre-treatment imaging protects the patient and reduces the risk of complications.

While other hospitals charge owners for each component of the treatment, VICSD patients benefit from a comprehensive therapy package that includes the physical exam, pre-treatment screening, echocardiogram, thyroid scan, treatment, and hospitalization. Pet owners also appreciate using the I-131 Cat Cam to observe their recovering cats.

VICSD’s proprietary, research-based I-131 treatment success rate beats the national average and approaches 98%. We are so confident that we can cure hyperthyroidism with one treatment that we are the only I-131 treatment facility in the country to offer a treatment success guarantee. Should your patient’s thyroid level fail to drop to a normal or subnormal level within 12 months after treatment, the owner can have the cat receive a second treatment at no charge.
