Need Help with Pet's Hypothyroidism

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone suggest alternative, healthy ways to help with my dog's

possible hypothyroidism? I say " possible " because he's been tested

twice in the past, and the results came back negative. And yet he has

many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism: excessive weight gain, apathy &

lethargy, excessive shedding. I've put him on a strict diet, and yet

he's still gaining weight!

 

I'm going to get him tested again, I think, just to be sure - but more

than likely, the test will come back negative. However, I still feel

strongly that his thyroid is supressed.

 

Are there any herbal remedies, or anything else out there, that might

help?

 

THANKS!

Parasites will do the same thing. Has he been wormed

lately? Heart Worm? These can make them sick also.

Has he been tested for Cushings? Those all are Cushings symptoms

also. My dog was misdiagnosed as being hypothyroid for years, never

got a lot better on thyroid medication, and then I found out (new, much

more well informed vet) that he actually has Cushings. There's a hugely

informative canine Cushings if you need more info.
