<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Usually About 4 Weeks
Soloxine is a prescription medication used to treat underactive thyroids in dogs. According to the manufacturer's website, soloxine.com, the drug stimulates a dog's metabolism by replacing certain hormones that are lost when an aging dog's thyroid gland starts to atrophy. It can take four weeks to determine the correct maintenance dose.
On the Other: Every Dog Is Different
Every dog's metabolism is different, so not all dogs will respond to the same medication the same way. While one dog may respond quickly to treatment with Soloxine, another may take longer to show improvement. This is one reason that monitoring the dog as it starts treatment is important.
Bottom Line
Soloxine treatment takes about one month to show significant results, according to most experts. If your dog is lethargic and you have concerns about possible thyroid problems, consult your veterinarian.
