Print out the thyroid article from Dr. Dodds site. Read and get comfortable with with values and info...just the basics. If you have a feeling your vet will bristle, he/she might. But you are advocating for your dog. And you have supportive evidence. Ask if she'd be willing to speak with Dr. Dodd....she'll talk to your vet too.
Most vets use an external lab for thyroid values. Mine went to Michigan State. No big deal.
Be calm, kind, and FIRM. If the vet balks, ask for a 'trial' of Soloxine.
Keep us posted! And Good Luck
