Ashley...what's happening with her
Since there are updates here on Dogs...thought I'd share about Ashley. Not sure if I have told this group much about her. She was showing changes in her fur that alerted the vet to her having a thyroid problem. On June 2nd I took her in to have blood work done. It came back showing she needed thyroid meds. I started her on the dosage the vet gave me with instructions to come back right before the pills are done for more blood work. This is necessary to see if the dosage is correct. The pills caused my poor Ashley to have acid reflux. A call to the vet yielded the solution...1/4 pill of pepcid a/c daily along with the thyroid pill in the morning. Wednesday I took Ashley for her follow up blood work. Came back showing the dosage of thyroid pills is too strong. Now, she is on a 1 mg. pill instead of a 2 mg pill. I still have to give her 2 pills daily, 12 hours apart. The vet gave me 100 pills...50 days worth. Just before these are done, I am to bring her back for another blood test. Wow, what we go through for our furbabies. They are worth it, though. Ashley is such a wonderful dog whose given me almost 7 years of unconditional love.
