Well the reason for no medication is explained, apparently only one thyroid gland was removed, presumably the remaining one will produce enough to keep her going so to speak without becoming hyperthyroid again. The vet told me that the chances of that happening in a cat of Missy's age (15) are quite rare, so let's hope she's right..! Incidentally, I visited my doctor yesterday as well and I mentioned it to him in the course of conversation, he remarked that the cost (�120) was very cheap, the same operation for a human is around �5000 if done privately here in the UK..!
