I would recommend that for those of you who believe you have

the symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism and your GP relies on your TSH test

ONLY, or TSH and free T4….and for those of you who don't do well on

synthetic levothyroxine and are refused any other form of thyroid hormone

replacement, that instead of trying to get a diagnosis and a choice of

treatment from your doctor, you visit your local Vet.

When diagnosing dogs with possible hypothyroidism, they take

into account TSH, free T4, free T3, check for thyroid antibodies. They also

check the adrenals and treat accordingly as they recognise the connection

between adrenals and thyroid. Vets also recognise the importance of giving animals

a choice of treatment, including natural desiccated thyroid extract. I always

said that vets know a lot more than the majority of doctors about

hypothyroidism.
