Now that is interesting.....not a full panel u say? How much more expensive? Twice the cost or only a bit more?Manuel I thought of thyroid also. My suggestion would be to do a full panel, it is more expensive and only a few places run full panel. My vet sends it to Michigan State. dr Jean Dodds also does it. Chase thyroid at the vets, the one that shows T4 showed Chase as normal. I insisted on the full panel and sure enough Chases free T3 and some other things not on the panels vets send to regular labs was low. He is on thyroid meds.
Wow great idea Mel, although I have been using it on my Pye and occasionally on Pogo and their coats are okay. And, I do add just a tad more lemon grass oil in mine because I like the fresh scent.You are right: Something has changed about your dog. It might not be anything too terrible. Could he be having a reaction to the flea prevention you are using by any chance?
The cost depends on the vets charge for the service, shipping etc. I get the most comprehensive one and it is about $250 but it is the only way I can do it, even now 10 yrs later the best one the vet does shows him as normal, and he’s not. My vet gets a report from the specialist that does the test also. Not all vets will send it out to Michigan and even less to Dr Dodds.Now that is interesting.....not a full panel u say?

Manuel....how is Hoshi doing with this shedding thing? Did it abate?I'm mostly spraying his legs. most of this hair came from his back. It's better now. Maybe the number of baths I've given him. Haven't spoke to the vet yet but plan to.
