Effects so far

Jesse has now been on Soloxine for a week. There have already been some effects, though of course the major stuff should happen over the next few weeks/months.

Drooping eyes: Jacqui and I both think that his eyes are less droopy. Jacqui also says that when she did TTouch, his skin around his head (and all over) felt a lot better and was totally loose and relaxed.

Aggression: touch wood, we have not had any aggressive incidents, but that may not be related to the thyroid as he has not had any episodes since those September ones. He does seem a bit less guardy around his food though and the dogs have been able to walk past him without stiffening of body or grumbling... Time will tell though.

He is still itching, I also think that the steroids are wearing off, so he is a bit more itchy again now. But the skin will take quite some time to recover.

Jesse loves to take the tablets and thinks he is getting two extra treats every day! LOL
