Hi Susan
Hypothyroid is very rare in cats - they do show HYPERthyroid quite often.? I have never seen any studies relating iodine in the diet to cat thyroid problems, but there is a lot of conjecture that something in the diet leads to hyperthyroid problems.? You will know if hyper is a problem with symptoms the opposite of what you have seen (very active and vocal, losing weight).

Subject: Re: [P-F] grass fed meat?
Hi Everyone,?
?
Thank you very much for all the great replies and suggestions! I really appreciate all the help!?
I have another question. Now that I found out that I can't eat the latest round of 'grass fed' ranched meat because of the kelp/iodine/celiac connection, I fed it to Persia, my paleocat. However, I am wondering... if my thyroid was so severely affected by the meat, how would the cat's thyroid be affected??
This thought occurred to me after the cat had been sleeping for an unusually long time. I had been very tired and creaky whilst eating the cow.?
