Thyroid panel test result samples
Thyroid panel test result samples
These test results have been supplied from a number of people. They are nameless as it does not matter whose dog they are. They are just to show what panels look like for normal, already HT and possibly future HT so need retesting in the future dogs and as such are just for comparison.

There are two Panels added to this part. The first is an Afghan whose owner wanted to make sure her bitch's thyroid tested normal before mating as she had had some very bad phantoms, the results came back clear. The second is of a dog going to be used at stud, the owners thought he was totally fine but responsibly had tested anyway, the results came back as showing he was not Hypothyroid but had a 'Sick Thyroid' due to another problem which is now being treated, once treated his thyroid will recover totally. This is called a Sick Euthyroid. His thyroid is under some pressure because of another problem. This boy can safely be bred from he is NOT Hypothyroid
