    Dear Colleague, X Thyroid levels are too low. Recommend 6-8 weeks of Soloxine or equivalent product at 0.1mg per 20 lbs twice daily (e.g. 0.2 mg BID) is suggested, followed by retesting thyroid profile 4-6 hours post-pill to monitor response levels. Dose at optimum weight. To ensure absorption, thyroxine is best given by mouth, at least 1 hour before or 3 hours after a meal. TGAA CONFIRMATORY TEST RANGES < 10% = Negative; 10%-25% = Equivocal; > 25% = Positive Elevated TGAA levels confirm autoimmune thyroiditis. False positive results can occur if the dog has been vaccinated for rabies within 30 to 40 days. Thyroid hormone supplementation can decrease TGAA levels. Performed using the preferred Non-Specific Binding (NSB) Method.
