jezebeldobe Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi all :) Any vets in SA that do a full thyroid panel in house? or even if they send them away, know how to interpret them properly? Any recs? TIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I only use Jean Dodd's at Hemopet in the USA. The lab does by far, more intensive tests than the ones done in Aust. I haven't had one Thyroid tested for several years now so maybe things have changed in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezebeldobe Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thank you for the reply. Does your vet just take the bloods and you send them off? I saw IDEXX has an Aus site so I thought we may now be able to do the complete test here but if not I will look into Jean Dodds. I want every thyroid test possible as its apparently very common in Dobermanns and normal TSH tests/T4 tests dont pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a vet in Qld that does everything. I just have to turn up with the dog. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
