What should I do if my Selkirk Rex cat has a pituitary tumor? Pituitary tumors can cause a series of adverse effects on cats, such as vomiting, ataxia, spinning, etc. So how should this disease be treated?
Pituitary tumor treatment methods
Use CT or MRI to diagnose pituitary tumors. Endocrine function tests are used to detect whether the tumor is functional or non-functional and whether hypopituitarism is present. If neurological symptoms are present, megavoltage radiation therapy is a good treatment option and has been successful in reducing pituitary tumors.
Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism can be treated with o-p-dichlorobenzene dichloroethane, and secondary hypothyroidism can be treated with thyroxine.
