Given the paucity of data regarding adult‐onset feline hypothyroidism, we sought to describe the history, clinical features (including presence or absence of goiter), diagnostic testing, treatment, and long‐term outcome of 7 adult cats with spontaneous primary hypothyroidism. For these cats, we used the serum concentrations of T4, free T4 (fT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and results of thyroid scintigraphy to aid in both the diagnosis and long‐term monitoring of thyroid hormone replacement treatment.
