I do not think this is thyroid related AT ALL. My dog has hypothyroid and her thyroid was t4free .38 and you can only determine thyroid by doing a full 6 panel thyroid but biggest indicator is t4free which normal for a yorkie is 1.0. Hemopet/Hemolife, HEMOPET a full animal blood bank, Diagnostic Laboratory, Adoption and Consultation - dr dodds is the expert on hypothyroid and why i went to her with my dog so i would get a second opinion on that .
Low calcium, low cholesterol, and low protein can be tied to lymphangiecstasia, ple or epi. A dog with these issues will have diarrhea. But if this all started after the compost incident you need to rule out a fungal infection asap. What to ask about is histoplasmosis so ask your vet if that can be a possibility.
Hypothyroid dogs can be over weight, sluggish, have a stinky odor about them due to sebaceous gland excretion, skin issues and loss of hair - not diarrhea  and not low calcium as my dog does not have low calcium and she is hypothyroid and on soloxine for it as well Hypothyroidism in Dogs |
Just want you to understand the OP said hypoparathyroid not hypothyroid, there's a difference between the parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located behind the thyroid, and control the amount of calcium in the blood.
