The vet rang today and confirmed Bazza has an inactive Thyroid which I think bascially means that the thyroid is not making enough hormone, causing weight gain, hair loss and they can be lethargic / depressed. He is prescribed tablets the vets says he will be on for the rest of his life !!!!!! Bugger Bugger I hate the thought of that. I will have to do some research, hope we did not contribute in anyway to this. The vet reckons we will see a different dog within months, that will be interesting to see !
@Manydogs I am with you I would forget my head if it wasn't attached to me LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to read into it alot more however.
@agentbunny I will be doing some reading on it now, to find out more, I had no idea.
WOW I'm just now seeing this… I'm glad that you figured out what was going on w/Bazza. I have inactive thyroid as well, and I will take thyroid meds for life. Once they get the levels corrected he should be feeling much better. I had no idea that it could affect dogs as well.
