I would call ahead and make sure the vet you are going to will test for all of these things. Most only check for T4 and T3 which is not always comprehensive enough to find a problem.
Thats all my Vet checked was the T4 & T3...he never had Bailey fast beforehand...and we had to go in every 3 months that first year and than every 6 months after that for Blood work..to make sure she was on the right synthroid for 7 years before she passed last Oct. at 14 1/2 years old....Hmmm I wonder why they never made her fast.
