I have his lab report with me....

TSH was 0.05 - normal is 0.05-0.42
T4 was 0.4 ug/dL L - normal is 0.9 -3.9
pH was 7.58 - normal is 7.31 - 7.42
Sodium 162 - normal is 144 - 160
HCT 55.8% H - normal is 37 - 55

These are the things that were a little low or high..everything else was within normal range. He has no other symptoms at all. We have tried diets and exercise and he can not lose weight and the vet says he is definitely overweight! That is why we ran the the thyroid panel. He does not have excessive hunger or thirst. He does not pee excessively. He does tire easily, but I think it's because he is overweight. No skin or hair issues...he has a beautiful coat. The diet he is on is Stellas and Chewy's raw chicken mixed with extra green beans and pumpkin...so it it not homemade and should have enough sodium. In fact, his sodium was a tad bit high. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated as all of this is foreign to me. My vet suggested trying 1/8 teaspoon Canine Thyroid Support twice a day with his food...
