Hi and thanks for posting. Levotiroxina is a drug used to treat hypothyroidism. This is only available through prescription from Jacob's veterinarian. It is not an over the counter drug. I hope this helps!

Hello there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on Bismarck's weight you provided me with, the starting Eltroxin dose is typically 20 micrograms / kg (0.02mg/kg) by mouth twice daily. This would put Bismarck at about 1.6mg twice daily. However, it should be noted that we typically do not exceed 0.8mg twice daily. For cases like this, I would generally start with the 0.6mg Levothyroxine and then recheck the thyroid level in 3-4 weeks to see if an adjustment needs to be made. I keep doing this until the thyroid level has been corrected. Also keep in mind that if Bismarck is sick, the thyroid level could be falsely decreased, a condition known as euthyroid sick syndrome. I would confirm that he is indeed hypothyroid by sending out a free-T4. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!

You are very welcome. Yes, once you find the right dosage, this medication will be life long because his thyroid will not be able to produce the correct amount of hormone. If you stop the medication he will not have enough thyroid hormone. Pets who lack this hormone struggle with not feeling well, weight gain, skin infections and a heavy thirst. They definitely don’t feel like themselves so it’s important to continue the medication. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

We are not in a position to prescribe medication for your pet. The results you show here are not showing enough proof for the need for thyroid medications unless she is showing very clear symptoms in which case a free t4 ft4 test should be completed. I recommend repeating in 4-6weeks to track changes. I would be more concerned about her elevated bun and creatinine which may indicate kidney disease and should be investigated with urine tests by your vet to determine the concentrating ability of the kidneys

Unfortunately no. There must be some reason they aren't supplying it. Either an exam or labs are due. If that is up to date, and you have a good client/veterinarian relationship, they should give it to you if you ask.
