How many thyroids do cats have?
One. The thyroid gland in cats is a bi-lobed structure located next to the trachea. Bi-lobed means the gland splits into two equal parts, so it looks like two separate glands, but it is only one. In addition to the thyroid gland, many cats have extra thyroid tissue elsewhere in the chest cavity. This ectopic (out of place) tissue can function similarly to the tissue found in the thyroid gland, and can also develop the same problems as the thyroid gland; but this extra tissue is not a gland.

What is the chemical used in Grave's disease to destroy tissue of the thyroid gland?
Grave's Disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder in which your body is rejecting and destroying your thyroid. There is no way to stop the process, but you can slow it down and lessen the symptoms of the disease. If you go to an endocrinologist you will be told to take radioactive iodine to destroy your remaining thyroid tissue, and then you will be put on synthetic thyroid hormones that you must take for the rest of your life. The normal end result of Grave's disease is a total loss of thyroid tissue. Radioactive iodine treatment just gets you to that point in a couple of weeks or months rather than having to wait years. There are natural approaches to treatment for Grave's disease as well. The goal of natural therapies is to support your body while your thyroid is being destroyed by lowering your antibody levels and reducing your symptoms. You may or may not need thyroid hormones (determined by blood tests) during portions of this treatment. The benefit of natural treatments is that you can avoid the negative side effects of radiation.
