[quote user="DumDog"]and what exactly is a thyroid panel? thats a new on me, and she has also been spayed. [/quote] 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...

[quote user="MosMom"]His skin had started to get a bit dryer (I think just because he is older) so we put him on 3V caps....no good....all allergy symptoms returned with the addition of the snotty greenish/yellow discharge and sneezing. We're a week off the 3V caps now and the scratching...
