Radiocat

My 16-​year-​old male cat (Devon) underwent the I-​131 treatment at this Baltimore, MD location on 12/​10/​2012; Devon was age 13 at the time. After doing a LOT of research, I knew that this treatment was the only way to deal with hyperthyroidism because it’s a CURE. No more methimazole pills twice a day! My senior cat is doing very well because he is, in fact, cured of hyperthyroidism. The diagnosis was made by a veterinarian I highly respect: Dr. Erin Frey; however, she moved to North Carolina. So, now I go to the LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL in Gaithersburg, MD for my pets’ primary care, which is a BRAND NEW, renovated hospital, 2.5 times the size it used to be.
If your cat is otherwise healthy, this is the only way to go. But like any other so-​called chain businesses or similar businesses, I wanted to choose the main headquarters of Radiocat, where one of the founders was located – I chose Mellor Avenue in Baltimore, MD.
I brought Devon’s own canned food – much more than he would need. Devon lost a little weight while at Radiocat, which I expected. He’s never been boarded and hates leaving the house; so, I knew just leaving home would be very stressful for him. When I got Devon back home, he was hungry and thirsty (which I also expected), and he took a long nap. The extra thirst had nothing to do with his kidney function; he drank more water for a few days, and his water consumption went back to normal after a few days. I suspect that drinking the extra water probably helped remove the last amount of the radiation treatment from his body, and he probably didn’t drink much water while he was at Radiocat. Unfortunately, our pets don’t understand why we remove them from their homes; however, Devon came home CURED of hyperthyroidism, and he was very forgiving.

Radiocat saved the life of our precious Quincy!!! He i dong great ! I had no problems at all with the Baltimore location. Elena called me every day to update me on Quincy’s condition, and th doctor called me right after the procedure and chatted with me at length about what he had done. One of the best decisions I ever made!!! Wish I would have done it sooner!

Some of us would do anything for their pets, and this includes the treatment that Radiocat offers. The building seemed clean and I felt safe leaving my pet there. However, some of the staff were pretentious and unprofessional for a place so expensive! They barely said two words when I dropped my pet off and never discussed anything when I picked him up. The only interest they showed was through a standard pre-​op email. At least the procedure went fine and the treatment has worked so far.
