Hello there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on Bismarck's weight you provided me with, the starting Eltroxin dose is typically 20 micrograms / kg (0.02mg/kg) by mouth twice daily. This would put Bismarck at about 1.6mg twice daily. However, it should be noted that we typically do not exceed 0.8mg twice daily. For cases like this, I would generally start with the 0.6mg Levothyroxine and then recheck the thyroid level in 3-4 weeks to see if an adjustment needs to be made. I keep doing this until the thyroid level has been corrected. Also keep in mind that if Bismarck is sick, the thyroid level could be falsely decreased, a condition known as euthyroid sick syndrome. I would confirm that he is indeed hypothyroid by sending out a free-T4. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!

No that is uncommon. Many cats do not do well with diet changes and he certainly had a poor reaction to the food. Continue with his old diet. If you are unable to give oral medication you can have the medication made into a gel that you can rub on the ear flap where it will be absorbed through the skin. A compounding pharmacy can do this for you. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Theo.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! They will likely be able to refill it for you as long as they agree with that treatment plan to continue. Your best bet would be to contact them directly and check with your veterinarian. I am sure they will be more than happy to assist you and also to know that it is working well for Pablo. Have a good night!

Most Levothyroxine tablets come in 0.1-0.9mg dosages, so I am not sure why your pet is on a full 5mg dosage. If this is not a typo, then this is a pretty hefty dosage for a cat to receive if she surely got 2.5mg's. However, severe life threatening symptoms from a single overdose are less likely than with chronic overdosing. Some signs you may see are: Vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity to lethargy, hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, dyspnea, and abnormal pupillary light reflexes. It can take 1-9 hrs for absorption to occur. Then the drug should be mostly out of her system 12-24 hrs. In most cases this is not an emergency situation, but you can see the symptoms I mentioned above, which should be treated with supportive care through your vet. This is a tough one indeed, but it is likely that Kilala will be ok, since I assume that the dosage you gave has to be incorrect based on the typical dosage that dogs receive (between 0.1-0.9mg). I hope that everything works out well for y

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! It all depends on the expiration of the main bottle at your Vet. Currently our torb tabs have an expiration of 2019 which is only 1.5 years from now. It is very likely that are expired. Sometimes there is an expiration date on the prescription label on the container. If not I'd call for a refill. I hope this helps!
