    Thyroid testing question

    Will this panel be what I’m looking for to run Emma’s thyroid test? We only run a t4 in the clinic I work in.

    Hi, I’ve not had to have any thyroid testing on my dogs but I looked online to see what thyroid panels included and here is what I found.

    I would do Hemopet if I had to do the FULL FULL test. But our vet office does something more than just the T4. Grizz has a low value in his TSH level which makes him read on the low normal side.

    We had a Jean Dodds seminar last summer and I think she was recommending : Thyroid Profile 5
