What food is best for cats with hyperthyroidism?

A diet low in iodine is best for cats with hyperthyroidism. Iodine is an essential mineral, but too much of it can worsen the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Foods that are low in iodine include cooked chicken, beef, fish, and eggs. You can also feed your cat commercial cat food that is specifically designed for cats with hyperthyroidism. These foods are typically low in iodine and high in protein and fiber.

Here are some tips for feeding a cat with hyperthyroidism:

* Feed your cat small meals throughout the day. This will help to keep their blood sugar levels stable.

* Avoid feeding your cat foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates. These foods can contribute to weight gain, which can make hyperthyroidism worse.

* Make sure your cat has access to plenty of fresh water. Drinking plenty of water can help to flush out excess iodine from the body.

If you have any questions about feeding a cat with hyperthyroidism, talk to your veterinarian.
