Hello,

Here's a link that has info on thyroid problems. It is recommended
that you shouldn't "experiment" when it comes to thyroid problems.
It's better to have a holistic vet participate in the care with this
specific health problem. Anyways, although the link is from a cat
website, it has info related to dogs also especially regarding
thyroid. Good luck!

BTW, what made the vet think it was allergies and was it lab work that
confirmed the thyroid problem? I'm just curious...

about a week ago. He's had this problem for over a year, and the vet
kept thinking it was allergies. His paws are raw and swollen and his
body feels hot to the touch most of the time. His fur looks terrible
and I just feel really sorry for him. I know there are meds the vet
can give him to help him out, but are there any herbal or home
remedies I can use to make him feel better also?
