🐾 Hyperparathyroidism in Cats – What Every Pet Owner Should Know

Hyperparathyroidism is a rare but serious condition that affects the parathyroid glands — tiny glands near the thyroid that regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. When these glands become overactive, the result can be catastrophic for your cat’s bones, kidneys, and overall health.
🧠 What Is Hyperparathyroidism?

It occurs when the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone is responsible for:

Increasing blood calcium levels

Decreasing blood phosphorus

Controlling bone resorption (breaking down bone to release calcium)

Too much PTH = too much calcium in the blood = bone loss, kidney strain, and muscle issues.
⚠️ Types of Hyperparathyroidism

Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Caused by a tumor (usually benign) in the parathyroid gland

Results in uncontrolled PTH production regardless of calcium levels

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) or poor nutrition

The body tries to compensate for low calcium or high phosphorus — leading to overproduction of PTH

Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Happens in young cats fed unbalanced homemade diets (especially low-calcium, high-phosphorus)

🐱 Symptoms to Watch For

Weakness or lethargy

Poor appetite

Vomiting or constipation

Muscle twitching or seizures

Bone pain or fractures (especially spine, legs, jaw)

Facial swelling or “rubber jaw” (advanced cases)

Weight loss despite eating well

👉 Note: Symptoms can be subtle at first — don’t wait too long!
🧪 Diagnosis

A veterinarian may recommend:

Blood tests (high calcium, low phosphorus, high PTH)

X-rays (bone thinning or fractures)

Ultrasound (to detect parathyroid tumors)

Kidney function tests

💊 Treatment Options

For primary hyperparathyroidism:

Surgical removal of the tumor (parathyroidectomy)

Monitoring calcium levels post-surgery to avoid sudden drop

For secondary (renal or nutritional):

Treat the underlying kidney disease

Correct the diet (balanced calcium:phosphorus ratio)

Phosphate binders and vitamin D supplements

Regular follow-up and lab tests

🛑 Prevention Tips

Avoid feeding cats raw or homemade diets without veterinary guidance

Monitor senior cats for signs of kidney disease

Ensure complete and balanced nutrition

Annual vet check-ups and routine bloodwork

📣 In Summary:

Hyperparathyroidism may be rare, but it's not to be underestimated. Early detection and proper management can help your cat live a longer, healthier life.
If you notice unusual symptoms — especially in older or chronically ill cats — talk to your vet immediately.
