My dog has been on thyroid meds for a week now for low thyroid count. Does anybody remember that has had this problem how long it took for the dog to get back to hunting and looking like you think they should.
Thanks for any info.

Boost the Magnesium and Potasium Levels in your hound !! Current dog Feed is Very low and Will show as Thyroid Disorders .. " Magnesium deficiency is only one symptom of hypothyroidism. Dr. Peat says that low levels of protein contribute to hypothyroidism. He recommends Vitamin E supplements "

Steve is correct. Also continue with the blood work. It takes more then once to get the levels correct. Don't guess on dosage increase or decrease. That's the worst thing you can do!
