She was diagnosied with hypothyroidism in 2005 and started on soloxine (pre-treatment thyroxine level was &amp;lt;2nmol/l and TSH was 2.0 ng/ml).

As far as I&amp;#39;m aware there has not been any change inb diet etc, but I will double check. No thyroid nodules palpable, ran routine bloods and all normal. I&amp;#39;ve decided to halve the soloxine rather than stop completely and she is coming back to see me in another month. I&amp;#39;ll keep you posted with progress...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Resolving hypothyroidism?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/47573?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:26:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:dc792389-8691-4f55-98dc-f982170242cc</guid><dc:creator>Andrew Kent</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Interesting case Rob, results at time of treatment certainly look pretty conclusive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has there been any change in administration of soloxine with regard to feeding etc? Or diet change? This can have an impact on bioavailability of thyroid meds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any palpable thyroid nodules?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess if it was me I might try stopping the thyroid meds and test again to see what happens, I suppose as she is losing weight this may then have an impact on her thyroid dosing so the other thought may be to see if there is another non-thyroid reason for weight loss?&lt;/p&gt;
