I found out that my dog has hypothyroidism. I find it funny that he and I are taking the same medication, and almost the same dosage even.
What medication is it?
My German shepherd 6 year old female was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and she continued to LOSE weight. About 20 pounds. She had all the other symptoms except weight gain. We’ve been three weeks in medication and she doing better. Not all herself, but more alert. Vet said it takes a while. I’m hoping for the best..
I found out my dog has it too it really shocked me
What are the supplements? Because the site has nothing for hyperthyroidism in dogs at all
i adopted a 6 year old dog last september , she was heavily overweight and shortly got a very bad ear infection, which until today is still present . I have been to 5 vets , did all kind of blood works, CT scan, steroids, antibiotics etc NOBODY could help. I've given up on Vets all they want is $$$$. As i said her ear infection is still there, not as bad as it was , but. I have changed food (home cooked 50% Meat 50% vegetables) Olive tree capsules , Lions mane , Multivitamins , Salmon oil , green lipped mussels, chia seeds etc. after watching a few videos on Hypothyroidism in Dogs, i think that's what this dog have ? I can't get those supplements here in the UK but i ordered some other Thyroids supplements, lets hope it will help/heal this dog . She is still overweight and sleeps most of the time .
Our dog who has hypothyroidism also had issues with ear infections! I think they are linked
I’d defo recommend getting it checked out (and similar conditions - diabetes, Cushings etc). Worst case you can tick them off the list
Only for 6 years and older? Or younger dogs can have it also?
My dog has been diagnosed Hypothyroid (low T4) but has lost weight yet ravenous for food and obsessed with drinking water...and peeing in the house/bed.
The pills elevated his T4 to normal but he still wants water and pees inside.
Any ideas?
Have him checked for Cushing's disease
I second the diabetes bc that’s the one where they are constantly hungry or wanting to eat yet they don’t stop losing weight. Same thing with the water so especially if you see when he/she pees that the urine is clear instead of the normal yellow, it’s definitely something important bc that water is going straight through them.
I'm having the same issue with mine right now. Any tips
my 7 year old dog was diagnosed with hypothyroidism so i was old from one friend to consult with Planet ayurveda for herbal medication and my dog started showing improvement very soon
What supplement did you give your dog? Would love to know. Thanks
