Kristie W. I have a dog that’s been on Soloxine for Hypothyroidism so just wanted to chime in here. No, it is not a good idea for your dogs to miss their meds and I think a week is to long to go without his/her meds, but I doubt very highly that it would have killed your dog. Your dog may seem and act under the weather but will perk back up once back on the meds.

My sincere advice to you would be to immediately find another vet and when you make the appt. with the new vet ask the desk personnel to request your dog’s records from the previous vet. Your old (present) vet may not want to do that without your paying them a fee for copying the files. Some vets will charge a per page fee. To say that your vet acted unprofessionally is being kind. That was very inappropriate behavior. She could have very nicely spoken to you about the pros and cons of missing meds. There was absolutely no reason for her to belittle you whether it was to your face or in the back room with the techs.
