Referral Statement
Referrals to our Shoreline office
Your veterinarian has referred you and your cat to our hospital for treatment with Iodine-131. The doctor you will see has special training and expertise in nuclear medicine and will endeavor to treat your cat's hyperthyroidism.
Our hospital staff will care for all aspects of your cat's present problems. Following therapy, we will ask you to return to your regular veterinarian for follow-up care and blood tests. As a courtesy to your veterinarian, our sister clinic, Cats Exclusive Veterinary Center cannot see this cat or your other cats for boarding, grooming, exams, routine veterinary services, or any other service offered.
Thank you for your understanding.
