:don't mean to butt in, but do make sure that they run the TSH and the TgAA if you're going to run a full panel. TgAA is the primary test to be run when checking for an autoimmune problem -- all other readings can be normal even if this one isn't.

:I mention this because I went to my holistic vet requestion a full panel, fully expecting to have these run, and they weren't. Boy was I annoyed -- I later discovered that many vets don't run these.

Thanks whoevere you are...you got more from your vet than I did. I went for a thyroid test, even asking if it was a full panel and I only get the T4. She didn't think it was necessary!! But not what I was asking for..So, I'm using another vet and this information will be helpful.
Thanks...Diane, Bj's mom
