Dr. Peterson has updated the Animal Endocrine website to provide more in-depth analysis of Hill's new y/d diet being heavily marketed as a treatment for cats with hyperthyroidism. The updated page includes information about the causes of hyperthyroidism, the role of iodine deficiency in this process, and the possible effects of and fallout from feeding y/d diet to a hyperthyroid cat.
