Off to the vet for a check up

We went to the vet today just to get Kiwi all checked out. The shelter diagnosed her with hypothyroid which is a condition easily maintained with medicine. We wanted to run a thyroid panel to see how her medicine may need to be adjusted if at all.

First big suprised as the vet was that Kiwi had gone from a whopping 91lbs when admitted to the shelter mid-October to 74lbs!!!! This is probably a combo of her exercise, change in diet and also the thyroid medication.

Vet said seh looked great otherwise and ran the full thyroid panel. We did have to increase her thyroid medication and will re-do the test in another month..but she is in great health and on her way to being a much more fit girl :)
