This 14-year old, female, spayed DSH cat has severe, longstanding hyperthyroidism. As you can see in this video, before treatment she was getting ready to go into a hyperthyroid crisis (sometimes called a thyroid storm). She was experiencing severe heart issues, including tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and ventricular arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), due to her hyperthyroidism. She was anxious, agitated, panting, and underweight.
