hyperthyroidism support
Natural Support for Hyperthyroidism in Cats & Pets
Through years of experience, we have found that when a senior cat comes into our veterinarian practice it is usually due to hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, or diabetes. These diseases are so prevalent in older cats that we always rule these out first. In today’s vet talk, we’ll be focusing on hyperthyroidism in cats—symptoms to look out for, diagnostic tests, supplements, and treatments.
Hyperthyroidism is commonly diagnosed in older kitties.
What is Hyperthyroidism?
Hyperthyroidism is commonly diagnosed in older kitties. It causes an overproduction of the thyroid hormone causing a multitude of problems. The thyroid hormone regulates the basic metabolic rate. Too much of it is like drinking too much coffee—it speeds up every reaction in the body. Hyperthyroidism in cats is typically the result of a benign thyroid tumor. Since cells are normal, they continue to produce the thyroid hormones, resulting in a high level of those hormones in the blood.
Signs of Hyperthyroidism
The most common signs of hyperthyroidism in cats include:
- Increased appetite
- Weight loss in spite of excessive eating
- Anxiety or hyper behavior
- Howling at night
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Elevated liver enzymes
Not all cats will have these symptoms. In fact, about 20% of cats will be sluggish and depressed instead of hyperactive with decreased appetite. Left untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to heart problems and a decreased immune system.
How Hyperthyroidism is Diagnosed
Diagnosing hyperthyroidism requires a complete blood work check including T4 testing. We recommend blood testing and senior exams every six months in any cat over the age of eight. Chronic kidney disease can be a complicating factor in treating hyperthyroidism, so complete blood work is necessary to diagnose and treat in the most effective way.
What Causes Hyperthyroidism?
There are several presumptive and investigated reasons older cats develop hyperthyroidism, including diet and environmental causes. Canned food with BPA (found in the linings of cans) and excessive iodine in food have been targeted for possible nutritional reasons for hyperthyroidism. Environmental reasons include chemicals emitted by carpets, sofas, chairs, mattresses, and TVs, and computers called PBDEs, all of which are a large part of an indoor cat’s life. However, hyperthyroidism is also found in outdoor cats eating dry food. This adds to theories that there is a genetic disposition to hyperthyroidism as well.
Treatment Options for Hyperthyroidism in Cats
Treatment of hyperthyroidism is multifactorial. Immune support, heart support, and endocrine support are targeted. Western medications for thyroid activity and sometimes heart medication to slow the heart down are prescribed. Radioactive iodine therapy is another treatment available that completely ablates the thyroid gland and no longer makes it necessary to treat an overactive gland.
Natural Support for Hyperthyroidism in Cats
NHV offers natural supplements that may help to support the thyroid function and cardiovascular function of your cat. These complementary products can be used in conjunction with western medications. These are:
NHV Resthyro, which contains herbs like bugleweed and lemon balm, helps inhibit thyroid-stimulating hormones, while a balance within the body is maintained using herbs like eleuthero.
NHV Turmeric, which is a super herb and helps with liver function and heart and circulatory function. NHV Turmeric contains black pepper, which increases the bioavailability of turmeric.
NHV Hearty-Heart may help with overall heart function and blood pressure, which contain herbs like motherwort and hops that help to strengthen a weakened heart.
If chronic kidney disease is a complicating factor in your cat’s hyperthyroidism, you may want to try NHV Tripsy. NHV Tripsy contains herbs like stone root, parsley piert, and gravel root which help support and strengthen the kidneys.
If your cat has hyperthyroidism and you would like a second, holistic veterinary opinion, please book a consultation with us.

Hawthorne – Is considered to be one of the best herbs for fortifying the heart and supporting your veterinarian’s recommended cat heart disease treatment. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what the feline heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduce activity. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. Hawthorne works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the cat’s body. It helps regulate your cat’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. Hawthorne also has a soothing and sedative effect, which helps reduce stress.
Balsam Poplar – Stimulates circulation and supports blood flow. Balsam Poplar has been popular, historically, amongst the indigenous population in North America for coughs. It’s also been used as food for horses. Balsam Poplar has strong anti-inflammatory and may help with discomfort.
Hops – Helps relax tension and anxiety while supporting circulation.
Valerian – Helps manage heart palpitations and regulates the nervous system. Valerian plays a vital role in the nervous system by gently calming the nerves, which helps a cat's body to physically relax.
Woody Betony – This herb is one of the most valued in herbal medicine and has been used for centuries for over forty ailments! It acts as a mild stimulant to the heart. It is a nerve tonic that nourishes and builds vital energy. Woody Betony contains glycosides, which may help reduce blood pressure in cats, aiding in cat heart disease treatment.
Lobelia – Causes immediate relaxation and expansion of the respiratory system that allows oxygenated blood to flow freely. It helps with circulation and reduces agitation in cats.
European Mistletoe – Helps control tachycardia, relaxes spasms and hypertension. A cardiotonic that has been used for centuries.
Motherwort – Has a strengthening effect, especially on a weak heart. It helps sooth and relaxes the heart muscle. Motherwort helps maintain a regular heartbeat and lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
Pulsatilla – This herb is known to be antispasmodic, which is considered to be beneficial in cat heart disease treatment by relaxing the heart muscle and helping to soothe and relieve coughing. Pulsatilla also has a sedative effect that helps ease coughing.

how is this product administered liquid is difficult and cream he has a bad reaction to it
Hi Kathy,
We completely understand that sometimes it’s hard to give our furkiddos the supplements, but that are many ways to do so.
These ones on the blog are liquid form, but you can add them to your furkid’s food or treats. Or you can try giving them directly on the mouth. Whichever way is easier for you.
Let us know if you need any help!

Hi Barbara,
Our pet experts recommend feeding your cat a high-quality adult cat food. The brands that our experts recommend are: Now, Hound & Gatos, Koha as they are all reputable brands with good ingredients and no recalls. It would be great if you could check in with us in a couple of weeks after starting the Resthyro, in case we need to adjust her dosages. Is your kitty on any medication currently? If she is, please do not stop the medication, but use they Resthyro as additional support. Also, it’s a good idea to space out the supplements and medication by a couple of hours.
If you have any more questions about your pet and their health, we’re always here to help!

I would like to book a consultation with you.my cat is 17, he has hyperthyroid, his blood panel Thyroid reading is at a 6 up from 4.5. He has serious periodontal disease and when they clean and extract some of his teeth an roots they will biopsy some of his soft tissue. I tried regulating his thyroid with prescription food but it’s not working, though he seemed much better and gained 3/4 of a lb in a couple of weeks. I am worried about the side effects of the methimazole and think herbal medice might be the way to go but the mouth procedure is complicated and the vets are trained allopathically and I don’t want to further complicate an already complicated procedure. The thyroid has already effected his heart as he now has a heart murmur. Both conditions will further complicate the anesthesia which for a cat his age is already dicey. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Hannah,
We’re really sorry to hear about his thyroid, periodontal disease and heart murmur concern. We can only imagine how uncomfortable it must be for your little one. We have a regimen that can help to support him against his symptoms.
1. Resthyro is our main hyperthyroidism support. It has herbs that can help to balance the thyroid function and hormone production.
2. We have Mouth Drops to help support the pain and inflammation in his mouth. It can help to prevent gingivitis and tooth decay, but it’s still very important to keep up with his oral hygiene.
3. Hearty Heart is our main heart health support, it can help to manage heart palpitations and improve the blood flow. It also has antispasmodic properties to help relax the heart muscle naturally and gently.
4. Turmeric is a super herb with curcumin properties that can help to manage any pain and inflammation your boy has in his oral, thyroid and heart health.
It is true that sometimes anesthesia and surgery may not be recommended if a pet has complicated health concerns as this will put them at risk. We recommend following your vet’s advice as they have a better understanding of his physical condition and blood work. ♥
We’re always just a message away if you need anything. Sending your sweet boy lots of love and healing vibes.
