Where can i bye levotiroxina?
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!

Boxer male 6 yrs, 42kgs, diagnosed hypothyroidism after many months on antibiotics for folliculits/pyoderma/allergies etc. I had to BEG the vet if he would pls test for thyroid issues.Prescribed Eltroxin 20mg p/kg 2xp/d.I am concerned this is too str
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!

I posted earlier but it went away. I accidently gave my half of my dog thyrosyn 5 mg to my cat before I shaved her. I thought it was her new sedative. She acts fine and it been 3 hrs since I gave it to her. Should I be worried. I like to go to sleep
Most Levothyroxine tablets come in 0.1-0.9mg dosages, so I am not sure why your pet is on a full 5mg dosage. If this is not a typo, then this is a pretty hefty dosage for a cat to receive if she surely got 2.5mg's. However, severe life threatening symptoms from a single overdose are less likely than with chronic overdosing. Some signs you may see are: Vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity to lethargy, hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, dyspnea, and abnormal pupillary light reflexes. It can take 1-9 hrs for absorption to occur. Then the drug should be mostly out of her system 12-24 hrs. In most cases this is not an emergency situation, but you can see the symptoms I mentioned above, which should be treated with supportive care through your vet. This is a tough one indeed, but it is likely that Kilala will be ok, since I assume that the dosage you gave has to be incorrect based on the typical dosage that dogs receive (between 0.1-0.9mg). I hope that everything works out well for y

I accidentify gave my cat half of my dog 5 mg thyrosyn. Should I be concern?! Please help! She acts normal but I just want that peace of mind knowing everything going to be ok.
Overdosage of any thyroid drug may produce the signs and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis including, but not limited to: polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, reduced heat tolerance and hyperactivity or personality change. if she is experiencing any of those- take her to your vet, if not she should be fine.

My 18 yr old male kitty has hyperthyroidism, as well as some renal failure. Does not take meds. Vet had us try Hill's Y/d formula, which he ate..but his demeanor is odd. Only sleeps and eats, shows no affection, no interest, as if he's had a lobotomy
No that is uncommon. Many cats do not do well with diet changes and he certainly had a poor reaction to the food. Continue with his old diet. If you are unable to give oral medication you can have the medication made into a gel that you can rub on the ear flap where it will be absorbed through the skin. A compounding pharmacy can do this for you. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Theo.
