Jessica -- good to hear someone else that understands T4/T4 thyroid hormone -- I take Armour Thyroid too -- I have no thyroid gland now and just could not get enough conversion with T4 alone. Some of the best information I found online about thyroid was written by vets. There was a time there when I was tempted to ask the vet to treat me! But I finally found a fairly good people doc.

Enough and the right thyroid hormones can make a world of difference to people AND their pets!
