| HELP with thyroid and teeth cleaning!!!! I planned on taking misty to get her teeth cleaned on Friday. So we did a complete blood work on her to make sure she's okay to do the cleaning and everything was fine except her thyroid level was a little low and my concern is can she still go under anesthesia. My vet said it's okay that he will do more test after the teeth cleaning. What do you guys think?

| Low thyroid results can mean hypothyroidism or euthyroid sick syndrome. If it is true hypothyroid a med will control it. To diagnose another T4 would need to be done by equilibrium dialysis (if blood was sent to a lab they can add this on now) or a thyroid panel. If further testing is normal then you may be looking at sick syndrome which is just a fancy way of saying something somewhere is causing the number to read low (like a disease process somewhere else in the body). If the dental is an urgent thing then no worries. You can always put it off until this is sorted out if you want to be extremely cautious. If it was only slightly low it may be nothing at all.

| I would hold off on the dental until you know more. Here is an article pertaining to humans. I can't find one on dogs: Anesthesia and hypothyroidism: a review of thyr... [Anesth Analg. 1982] - PubMed - NCBI
