follow up blood testing for thyroid

• follow up blood testing for thyroid Amy Nietz Posted : 5/5/2006 8:16:01 PM should have asked this today... but when the one month is up for Darby's thyroid meds and we go back for the blood test, is it the full panel like Dr. Dodds or Michigan State runs... you know the $$ one... or is it the basic one in the vet office lab?  LIKE 2 REPLIES 258 VIEWS LAST POST CAKANA Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I took Bubblegum last year for a thyroid test.. a T3 T4 and it was $87! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
