Hyperthyroid medicine?

The first question is a great thing to ask your vet. I would assume the main thing is to keep it at a consistent time each day, however, you should ask.

There are some MANY places that sell veterinary prescriptions. Many are not reputable! I would see if your vet clinic will do "price matching" for you and give you the medication for the lowest advertised price you can find. Often veterinarians prefer to do this because they want clients to be receiving quality prescription products. This is much better than doing business with a company with whom you have no history.

I get almost all my cat meds from Costco pharmacy at far better prices than I would pay at my vet; a few I get from KV Vet Supply, my vet faxes them the prescription. As with all meds, the more you buy, the less you pay - well, usually. That's because each time you refill you are paying a service charge as well as paying for the medication.

I had the radioactive iodine treatment done on one of my cats, and it worked out very well. Other, older cats have had the medication for years and all without ill affect. If your cat has a long life ahead of him, it can work out to be more cost effective to go with the iodine treatment.
