The most commonly preferred treatments for long-term management of feline hyperthyroidism were antithyroid medications (305\/546; 56%) and radioiodine (210\/546; 38%), with substantially more respondents selecting radioiodine when cost was removed as a consideration (425\/546; 78%). However, most respondents had treated or referred few cases for radioiodine (median 2). Most veterinarians (500\/546; 92%) used antithyroid medications either long term or prior to definitive treatment of hyperthyroidism. For medical management, 45% (244\/546) of veterinarians used twice-daily carbimazole. Half of respondents (274\/546) aimed to maintain the total thyroxine concentration anywhere within the laboratory reference interval in hyperthyroid cats without chronic kidney disease. Blood pressure monitoring was uncommon. Surgical thyroidectomy was rarely performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Radioiodine was more frequently preferred by Australian veterinarians compared with those in the UK, likely associated with greater availability, reduced cost and shorter hospitalisation times in this jurisdiction, although antithyroid medications were the most frequently used treatment modality. Barriers remain to its utilisation, however, including perceived cost, misconceptions with regard to expected success rate and accessibility. Recent changes to recommendations on the management and monitoring of hyperthyroid cats do not appear to have been widely adopted by veterinarians at this time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x16634392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,10]],"date-time":"2016-03-10T22:28:56Z","timestamp":1457648936000},"page":"559-567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Management and monitoring of hyperthyroid cats: a survey of Australian veterinarians"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Lucy","family":"Kopecny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Small Animal Specialist Hospital, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Higgs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastcott Veterinary Referrals, Swindon, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angie","family":"Hibbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Feline Centre, Langford Veterinary Services, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Veterinary Education, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea M","family":"Harvey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Small Animal Specialist Hospital, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X12464462"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","article-title":"Spontaneous hyperthyroidism in the cat","volume":"108","author":"Peterson ME","year":"1979","unstructured":"Peterson ME, Johnson JG, Andrews LK.
