We sometimes combine methimazole and atenolol, which may help the cat feel better. Rescue Remedy topically may also help, but no studies have been done.Dr. Mark E.

I have Graves' disease and was on the same medication for two years. At the start of my diagnosis, I was on Atenolol to help with the anxiety. My landlord's vet isn't making the connection between the cat's anxiety and hyperthyroid and suggests dementia, which I disagree with. I'm an RN and suggested my landlord perhaps try some Rescue Remedy topically to maybe ease his anxiety. What do you think? Thanks for the informative article.
