The thyroid subject and issues are way deeper then What you have listed. Many dogs will have a low thyroid as a secondary effect from tick sickness. Many times when the tick issues are resolved, the thyroid will also. Frontline isn't the best preventive to use compared to others on market today.

Frontline causes low thyroid?

Active ingredient was link to low thyroid in people. Just trying to see if I can find a link in dogs.

Used Frontline on the dogs for the first time probably 10-12 yrs ago now. Was not impressed with its effectiveness and it wasn't the cheapest thing around either.

Switched over to a Permethrin based product in Freedom Spot on 45 and haven't looked back.

Maybe...I used it on my three. One of them has low thyroid, but not too bad. He also had erlichia. The erlichia is cured and he has suffered no other effects that I know of, but again, maybe...he still has low thyroid. I thought, and the vet says that the thyroid condition could be hereditary or genetic. Never mentioned Frontline use. This dog is out of a known line of dogs that have higher than normal incidences of low thyroid conditions, so I didn't know to think about the use of Frontline.
For the record, he has suffered none of the often believed symptoms posted repeatedly on here. What he does have for symptoms of low thyroid is thin hair on his legs and belly, some lethargy, poor appetite, but weight gain. As to the erlichia...he ran a fever and stopped eating, he wouldn't come out of his dog box and in general acted like he was sick.

I have one dog that had elichria and a low thyroid, my vet ran blood work and, came back with low thyroid, he said you can tell whether it is low from tick disease or if he has a low thyroid problem. He had a double whammy with both, but is fine now. He comes from a family where low thyroid is common. The second dog I just had checked because of above dog showed no signs was clear of tick diseas but suffered from low thyroid but not as low as above dog. Never used frontline on either dog, always been fed diamond extreme athlete.
