My puppy ate my whole prescription of thyroid medication. They were 50mcg and there was 90 of them. I’m not sure what to do.

Teddy has been diagnosed with thyroid’s and has been on medication for two months haven’t got the right doses yet but he is losing weight and has more energy but his eating habits have changed he’s very finicky doesn’t eat like he used to

My sons dog ate a .8 mg levothyroxine tablet for my dog by accident...can that harm her? Should I do anything?

Accidentally gave dog an extra thyroid pill

Our 7 1/2 year old Siberian Husky was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after a blood work. He weighed about 92 - 94 pounds, was lethargic, thinning of hair, with dull and brittle hair. Our vet prescribed .8 mg of Tyhro-tabs, 2 times daily, so a total of 1.6 mg a day. At first he seemed more perky, with more enegry. After 10 days on the medication, he stop eating, began to drink a lot more water and didn't have as much energy. He also had diarrhea a couple times on the 2n day of not eating. We took him to the Pet Emergency, they gave him Metronidazole, 500 mg, 2x daily. Took our dog to our vet 2 days after the Pet ER, our dogs temperature was 104.5, still some diarrhea and vomited once. Vet prescribed Amoxicillin, 3x daily, and indicated to continue with the Metronidazole, and cut the Thyro-tabs to .4mg every 12 hours, even though she thought it wasn't the Thyro-tabs causing our dog to not eat, drinking a lot, high temp, diarrhea, and vomiting once. Went back to the vet the next day and the et did X-rays, more blood work and a urine test, at this visit his temp was 105.4. They also gave him fluids under his skin on his back to rehydrate and cool him down. We have not be able to get our dog to take the medicine regularly, and more often not. Even the vet couldn't get his meds in him while they had him for 1/2 a day for the X-rays and blood work. Our dog hasn't eaten a meal for 7 days. Only little bits of turkey lunch meat to try to get him to take his pills. But he has stop even taking the pills with the turkey (which he usually loves the turkey, but hardly ever gets since we try to keep him on his regular dog food. But at this point w were willing to let him eat just about anything if it would help him take his pills and the vet said to give the pills with food he loves to eat. We've even tried a pill dispenser (popper), but that didn't work. Since he was drinking so much water, we even tried beef broth to try and get some liguids with a little nutrients in him, but he smelled but would driink any of it. I asked our vet if the .8 mg 2x daily was too high of a dose and could our dog be having an adverse reaction and/or now have Thyrotoxicosis, but the vet indicate no, she didn't believe so, that the high fever is not an adverse side effect of the Thyro-tabs. From the X-rays the vet said the stomach was very enlarged and so were the intestines and they believe it is gastrointestinal cancer, and that was also probably contributing to the low thyroid issue. The vet said to stop the Thyro-tabs and focus on the Metronidazole, she added Cesernia (spelling - for nausea for 4 days) and Mitrazine (appetite stimulant for 7 days), and 1/2 imodium AD (for 3 days) to see if we can get his intestines not so inflamed so our dog may be willing to eat. But almost no luck in getting the pills into him. The vet also said with treatment for the cancer, it would only give our dog about 2 - 6 months more time, but he would have to take some more pills to stay comfortable and hopefully so he'll eat. If it was the Thyro-tabs that caused the initial problems, how long after being off of the Thyro-tabs would you think it would take for our dog to start eating again? The vet has recommended that it would be best for our dog to be put to sleep, as he can't be comfortable since he won't eat and/or take the pills. We have a vet coming to our home tomorrow to put him to sleep. It is breaking our hearts, we love him so much, he's part of the family, but don't want him to suffer. He is such a sweet dog and so loving, we feel we have to do whats best for him. But I feel so unsure, it just seems such a coincidence that only after 10 days of being on the Thyro-tabs that this all started. But 3 vets within the same practice have indicated they don't think it is the Thyro-tabs and/or the dosage amount. Don't know what else do to four our dog, put he can't go on this way without eating, he looks so sad when he looks at you now, like he's saying please help me. He hasn't been taking the Thyro-tabs for a few days and we had reduced it to .4 mg for a few days before that. I keep hoping each morning that we see improvement in him, but it seems to being getting worse, and more weak by the day. Please respond even if it doesn't help us, in case others have this same experience they may know how and who to reach out to get better way to get it fixed.

I took my nine year old whippet to the vet a month ago because she has put on some weight over the years. They did bloodwork and the vet said she had a slow thyroid so she put her on .4mg of thyrosyn twice a day and she weighs 37 lbs. She has been acting fine for the past 4 weeks but last night she totally changed and not in a good way. It was like her joints locked, she won't walk, she is not attentive, and will not even look at me. Her whole body is shaking and trembling. She will not eat on her own, I have to feed her piece by piece by mouth. I try to set her up on her feet and she will walk very slow but then just lay down on the ground and not move. This is very alarming for me.

My "Puppy" is 13 years young... was in perfect health as far as I knew -still running around playful and active, sleeping a little more than he used to but it seemed age appropriate. I took hi to the vet for routine check up. Vet called after visit and advised that his thyroid level was very low, below .5, and that I needed to put him on thyroid meds right away. My boy is a silky terrier, weighed at the time 11 pounds. Vet prescribed .2mg of thyroxine. Suddenly he was very lethargic - less playing, poor coordination, just not who he was. After 3 weeks he then had a shift - acting playful again - jumped up on the bed which he hadn't done in a long time... it has all been one thing after another since then... he started increased panting - even in his sleep, he seemed way too amped up... I researched that the dosage was high and I started giving him 1/2 the pill each day (.1 total for day) I called vet and he said bring him back in to retest - said I should give him .1 2x a day... I reluctantly did this and then brought him in a few days later - Test showed He was then at the high end of normal range. Vet then says something about his elevated liver levels - which he NEVER mentioned. I picked up all copies of blood tests and went to another vet. The new vet put him on .1 2 x a day and retested liver as well - which now (1 month after initial test) has doubled. After 3 weeks we retested his thyroid and he did an abdominal sonogram. Said the liver was ok except for a bright area which could be from age, said something about his adrenal glands (wish I could remember!!! I am waiting for a call from him now), now he also noticed a heart murmur and his liver levels are now I believe 365- up again. He put him on Denamarin. I read online that home cooked food would be better for him than the Blue Buffalo he has been eating for the last 2 years - and I stopped the cosequin he had everyday... I started giving him boiled chicken, brown rice, raw spinach, sometimes adding nonfat cottage cheese and sweet potato. This was last week... now... panting started to return, a little bit of jaw chomping (for a short period) - lethargic, indifferent, not wanting to play - seems to have ups and downs, drinks more water than normal. Then suddenly 3 days ago he started having accidents. He urinated on the floor 3 times in one day - and this was with walks in between. He NEVER urinated on the floor in the night before - now he has for the last 2 nights in a row. The vet said drop the dose to .05 2 times a day. First such dose was last night. This morning he drank excessively - then vomited (all clear and undoubtedly the water he gulped down), then he urinated on the floor again and had diarrhea.... How I wish I never started any of these medications - he was absolutely fine!!! I just want my boy back to normal - he just sleeps at my feet for most of the day... he is like a wet noodle. Weighs 10 lbs now. When I spoke to the vet yesterday he mentioned something about cushings... I am getting info in dribs and drabs - everything seems like speculation.... can anyone offer me some insight here - this little boy means the world to me....

My dog shows every symptom of hyperthyroidism, but my vet diagnosed (through blood work) hypothyroidism and put her on thyro tabs 0.1 mg twice a day. I'm afraid to start this med due to already significant weight loss. Any thoughts on this please!

I have a 5-6 year old german mix rescue. She (Daisy) has gained A LOT of weight in the last year. Took her to the vet and her blood test indicated-low thyroid. It's been about two weeks I am giving her 2 pills (my pups ate the pill bottle) twice a day. I have noticed her personality change. She has become aggressive toward my other dog (Chance). He is somewhat equal to size but he was been with her since he was 9 weeks old. She has not become aggressive to my 2 smaller fosters. I have been keeping her in my room and walked in and found her licking all over the floors-just walking around licking. So weird - she had water and never has done that. I am convinced its the meds. Has anyone else experienced this?
