Your furbabies really should stay in the other room (close the door that night and don't let them sleep with you). See, the radiation in your body could get sucked up in to their little bodies. What you (and a grown person) can take, they can't. This only lasts for about 48 hours, so it's really not to hard to deal with. I guess the I-131 has a short half life. I didn't want my little guys to get cancer or something just because of me.

My doc only said to flush the toilet twice, or if I got some urine outside of the toilet bowl (like I'm gonna due this LOL), to clean it with bleach with paper towels, and flush the paper towels. They will give you a little bag, so that if you throw up, you use that bag and take it back to the doctor's office to be disposed of. What a joy huh? I didn't get queasy though.

Good luck! and try not to worry.
