Thanks Dawn. I am definitely taking them in. They are due for check ups anyways. I will keep this in mind, but I am also especially interested In a thyroid test for Moka. I read a study that even with normal blood tests, low levels of thyroid medication can help in situations where a new bad behavior has developed so I am anxious to discuss this with my vet. Heck, maybe it was here that I read that.
