Thyroid test

Jesse had another thyroid test on 17th December. The T4 came back as being sky high now. So Mark has advised me to half the Soloxine dose, which I am doing now. His coat seemed to go drier though and I am not sure whether this is the right dosage; however, the T4 really are very high (133 compared to the 15 - 40 normal range).

I have contacted Jean Dodds with the results to see what the American Cocker Spaniel normal range should be and to see what her interpretation of it all is. I will then let Mark know as soon as she gets back to me.

In the meantime I will give Jesse the lower dosage as recommended and will keep track of things.
