dog thyroid level test

If you suspect that your dog is hypothyroid then I would definitely take care of it. The longer your dog goes without treatment, the harder it will be to get your dog regulated.

yep. i called this morning and was surprised to find the test only costs about $40.
she's been acting lethargic this past week and her being a pit;
and pits being predisposed to thyroid issues. i just wanna rule that out

her appt is tomorrow. check her white blood cell count too while we're at it...

btw: you mentioned "lethargy". is she off her food? are you able to temp her? any other symptoms to speak of?

her appetite's been off. which is pretty rare for her
and she's been hesitant to go for long walks

i can get her energy worked up quick if i show her a soccer ball and play with her
so i'm thinking perhaps it's the canine equivalent of a cold, or she's fighting off some bug. perhaps she has some sort of virus

so i wanna check her white cell count
otherwise her poop is a-ok O:)
