Maya does have hypothyroidism The vet just called and said Maya, my pom's ,Thyroid panel came back and the 3 tests all showed it as low and the one test the TSH usually would be high with the others being low but hers was low so he said that he wanted to start her on 1/2 pill every day fir 3 weeks and wants an update in 7-10 days to see if she has had any relief in her symptoms. Then we have to adress her heart problems with an untrasound in a few weeks. My poor baby!!! But at least it's not Cushings. |
When the TSH is low and the T4 and T3 are also low, it most often means central hypothyroidism. That is where the thyroid hormones are low because the pituitary is not producing enough TSH (which is thyroid stimulating hormone) or the hypothalmus is not producing enough of the hormone it sends to the pituitary to stimulate it. So, it is really a pituitary or hypothalmic problem, rather than a thyroid problem. Still, central hypothyroidism is treated with more thyroid hormone. Good luck to Maya and I hope the dose is stabilized quickly! |
Thanks for the info!!!!! |
Sending hugs to you and Maya. Hope meds stabilize her condition quickly. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers regarding the heart problems. |
