I'm at a lossā€¦ Roxie has been on the thyroid medicine for almost 2 weeks. I've noticed a "little" improvement on her energy level, but she looks thinner to me and now she's been throwing upā€¦ sometimes once a day or every other day. I'm worried that she may not be able to tolerate the medsā€¦ Ugh!!!

It's a possibiltyā€¦ I know that w/dogs they are not going to blood work as often as they do for humans. I guess that is unless I request itā€¦

I have experimented with my own dosage of Thyroxin and adjusted it according the way I feel. Why not try giving her a little less and see what happens?

I'm going to call her vet today, but I'm only going to give her one pill today and see what happensā€¦ It's just hard because she can't tell me how she's feeling :(

Sorry to hear about Roxie. Moose was om Thyroid meds, but always took one a day. I guess it's according to bloodwork, but I would try one. I hope Roxie will feel better and hope nothing else is going on with her. :pray:

Her vet did a FULL senior blood panel on her, and the thyroid was the only thing that came up. I don't know what the deal is...

So sorry to hear Roxie still isn't doing well Tracey, I was hoping she would improve with medication. Are they sure it's only a low thyroid, or could she have something else wrong with her? I hope she feels better soon. Please keep us posted. Feel better Roxie.

Hope Roxie is feeling better<3 it might just be the dosage... I'm sure dogs have different level of tolerance for medicines, just like people. Thinking of you guys<3
