Kain had his yearly physical this past weekend and the vet thinks he may have a potential thyroid issue. I know others on the board have dealt with or know way more than I do in terms of screening and what to do next. He has an appointment at UC Davis to take blood and check him out next week. I remember reading about making sure they tested some specific parts in the thyroid screening and was looking to get any information! I appreciate anything, I feel so lost and worried about my baby!

Hope all goes well with Kain! I love the new photo.
You have to drive all the way up to Davis for a thyroid test?
Nope I'm living in Northern CA for the time being. I figured I'm gonna be here a while may as well get it done there.Originally Posted by ZombieBait
I don't have an experience, but hope everything turns out ok for Kain.

You need a full panel for definitive diagnosis. T3, T4, Free T3 and Free T4. There is more info here: scroll down about 1/3. Also notice TSH is not necessary to test in dogs so make sure to tell your vet you don't want that (or the extra expense)

Hoping his thyroid is normal.
