Thyro-Tabs is a medication for managing hypothyroidism in dogs, but it's important to monitor your pet for side effects, such as restlessness and increased panting.
- Restlessness
- Increased panting
- Weight loss
- Increased appetite and thirst
- Vomiting or diarrhea
These symptoms could be signs that the medication dose needs adjustment, especially if they persist or worsen. Although some restlessness and panting can occur, it's crucial to ensure they do not impact your pet's quality of life. If you notice severe symptoms or any new, unusual behavior, consulting your veterinarian is recommended to review the medication dosage.
