Now that all the blood tests are back (T4 lower than expected, but not that low anymore, no antibodies), Mark increased the Soloxine from 0.5 mg a day to 0.8 mg. We'll see whether that makes a difference! If not, then I think we will need to start looking further again.
Dylan still gets too tired on walks. On Monday, he went for a fox chase with Flash and was so knackered afterwards, I had to cut the walk short!

Follow-up Blood Test
Dylan has been better since being on Soloxine, however, not as great as I hoped. Today we went to get the 1-month blood test done to see what his T4 is doing. I asked for a comprehensive test as I would like to see whether he has the same type of hypothyroidism as Jesse, though I suspect he hasn't. But the antibody reading in the results will tell us. I also suspect that his dosage will need to be put up.

Feeling better, but not perfect yet
Dylan is now pretty much back to normal indoors, though still a bit sluggish on walks at times. He's been on Soloxine for two weeks now, it's another two weeks until we will do blood tests again. I suspect that we will need to up the dosage, but we'll see.
