update on stoney's health

[lisa gerhardt]

well after 5 months of ivomec for his demodectic mange we got some good news, first negative skin scraping, and his thyroid test indicates he has hypothyroidism and was started on thyrozyn. we will return to vet in one month for another skin scrape and to repeat thyroid test to see if he is on correct dosage. if you have any info on managing low thyroid please let me know! thanks so much!
Lisa and Stoney

That is great that they figured out the cause! I don't have any experience in thyroid disorders but I am sure there is someone on the forum who does. Merry Christmas to you and Stoney!

Sorry -- I am no help on either topic. But, it is good to know he is slowly getting better.

Merry Christmas to you ... and I'm glad that the mange is seems to be gone. Sorry but I have no experience with thyroid issues so can't really help you there.
