My last dog became hypo even before I knew the disease existed in humans. My

hypo-ness was discovered last November.

Their findings are that there is no difference between dog ot bitch,

intact or not, all are at equal risk when it comes to hypothyroidism.

I must have brain fog, cause I read just this first line

" Well, first, I have also read somewhere that bitches may become hypo "

And thought to myself " Oh crap, here comes another one of those people

who are gonna say that hypo is from unresolved feelings, and she is

gonna blame it on anger issues! "

I guess I should read the subject first. Either that or finish the

sentence. LOL

LOL! It is this other group that is messing with my mind, the

conversation there has gotten so nasty I wouldn't get past people using

the word " bitch " in its other meaning. Since I am getting all the email

in the same inbox, I don't even notice which group I am answering to.
