ETA: Whoops! I missed the post where the test had already been done. If all the needed values are determined and Dr. Dodds' newer protocols are not used, she is good about evaluating results that are faxed to her. Lots of dogs need treatment under Dr. Dodds' newer protocols even if the old protocol showed they were OK.
kelly25369:Has anyone had a problem with their dogs theyroid? If so, what are the symtoms?
Hypothyroidism (low thyroid) can easily cause aggression problems. Sometimes that is the only symptom. Treatment is easy and cheap (a pill twice a day) if this is a problem. A list of possible hypothyroid symptoms can be found in the middle of www.apubasenjis.com/bhealth.html
IMPORTANT: Have the vet send the thyroid test to Dr. Dodds or to Michigan State. That will get your test results adjusted for age and breed. Send a picture, a breed mix guess, and the dog's weight if you don't have a purebred. I don't know if they can actually use the picture, but it can't hurt.
Dr. Jean Dodds (Hemopet) is a thyroid expert and researcher. Michigan State U. uses her protocols for evaluating thyroid values. The test used provides the values T3, T4, free T3, free T4, T3 autoantibodies, and T4 autoantibodies.
