Thanks for the info aStarSeeker! If you read back a few days, you'll see that I put out a post about thyroids because I thought my Peanut might have hyper-thyroidism. Turns out her thyroid is not a problem - yet - but I appreciate all the information I can get on this disease now since it's highly likely I'll have to deal with it at some point in the future.

I would never have thought you could still have thyroid problems if you didn't have a thryoid. How odd is that!

Good luck with your Lucy. Hopefully her problem will be solved once again and she'll live many many more years to come!
