Hi Bekka -
I give my cat the transdermal form too (on the ears). She had a bad reaction to the pills. I actually find it's quicker to do the cream than the pills. I think if their last test was in normal range, 3-4 months is how often it is recommended you have them checked. Have you considered any of the alternative treatments (radioiodine?)

My cat got very sick from the oral form, so now I give her the transdermal form, but she always tries to clean it off! How often do you have to go to the vet to get her thyroid hormone levels checked?
