Hi,
I have a question about hypothyroidism. My dog, Reese, was diagnosed in 2015 after his splenectomy and is on natural thyroid and .1 mg soloxine.
I took my dog, Tasha, now deceased, to a holistic vet in 1996 when she was diagnosed with pannus. She was found as a stray and I adopted her. He put her on natural thyroid and though I gave her occasional prednisone drops (more consistently at first)- she never went blind or had to be on colchicine as the other vets said.
So, I have not found complete info on this disease, but in different places on the site, I have found a little information implying that medication is not a good idea. Is this correct? Should I try to get Reese off the medication? Will it help my understanding if I read Dr. Dodd's book about the disease?
Thank you,
Alice
