Ooops....I answered in your other thread. But I'll answer here, too.

We've seen similar numbers as our dogs were developing hypothyroidism. All three with the condition were put on thyroid replacement (Palatech) and did well. Shedding and skin condition improved greatly on the meds.

As problems go, low thyroid would be a blessing considering all the things your dog could have! It's easily treated...and the treatment would be the test, too, since successful treatment should lead to better skin and hair condition. I hope you get some answers soon! I know how worried you've been about Millie!
