Hearing Keegan has it makes me think about it even more and Ithink next very appointment I will at least ask. Wouldn't it be alittle ironic, if Cincy and Keegan not only share a birthday but a health problem?

yepper Amy that would be IRONIC!

I would definately get her thyroid checked it was only and $20 and if it would have been normal, at least I had the peace of mind it wasn't that.!

Glad you got a diagnosis and can treat the porblem. Just imagine how much energy Keegan may have if she take a few pounds off

OIY!!!

I didn't think of that!

Oh Keegan, you poor girl, you have the same thyroid problem as Angus

I'm glad it was nothing more than that though! At least now you may be able to take off a few #'s

Make sure mommy gives you lots of kisses & hugs from me & the girls!

I'm so glad that you have such a good vet. Thyroid problems are not uncommon in Goldens, but are very treatable.
Sweet Keegan Grace, you have grown into a most beautiful Golden girl. Now, if you take your pills, you'll be well in no time, with no holes in your gorgeous shining coat.
Big hug to you and best wishes for a quick recovery from Carina and Alicia.

WOW...I didn't know Keegan was feeling poorly!!! Hypo T? At least you do know what the condition is, and now you can work on rectifying things. (Tex is hyPER T, meds twice a day, kickin' butt and takin' names). Good luck little K!!

It is so good that you have a vet who took that bit extra effort & time to find out what was the root of Keegans problem,

now you know what you are dealing with the only way is up!

Please give your beautiful girl a hug and kiss from me!

It's about time we saw more pics of the lovely Miss Keegan Grace!!

You're SUCH a beauty, Miss K!

Looking forward to receving lots of happy, positive updates! Sandra, Star and Cody send you hugs, sweetheart!

Glad you found out what is going on with Keegan.
Sheba has been on a very low dose of thyroid pills for
about 3 years 2 times a day. (mainly for platelet reasons
instead of thyroid)
The pills worked like a miracle for her.
Her coat filled out, her appitite improved and she looks healthy again.
Keep us updated on Keegan.

Thanks for the pictures of Keegan Staci...they were terrific. I loved so many of them (expecially the ones by the desk, Roxey does the same thing

) but I think this was my absolute fav!

I couldn't agree more Sandra!

Keegan has grown up into quite the beautiful lady!

Staci, I'm so glad her problem is easy treatable and that your vet took the time to investigate. It means so much when they spend that extra time with the worried furparent, doesn't it? I remember when Bella was diagnosed with Lyme my vet just talked and talked with me and was unconcerned about the clock ticking along. I would definitely go ahead and write that note. I wish I had thought of doing that.
