Catcher has been showing increased signs of fear leading to defensive behavior. He is very easily aroused when around his brothers and extremely defensive if approached by a stranger on the opposite side of a gate/fence. I have decided to run a thyroid panel on him just to rule that out as a cause.
I sent the blood off to Dr. Dodds in California. Here are the results:
T3 - 61 - ref range (45-150)
T4 - 2.11 - ref range (1.0-4.0)
Free T3 - 2.8 - ref range (1.7-5.3)
Free T4 - 0.90 - ref range (0.45-2.06)
T3 Autoantibodies - 1.4 - ref range (less than 2.0)
T4 Autoantibodies - 0.7 - ref range (less than 2.0)
Thyroglobulin Autoantibodies - 10 - Normal/Negative
Thyroid Levels are adequate though we recommend annual testing.
