This three part series described the 5 long month breakdown of my dog Tiramisu, her diagnosis as a dog with a hypothyroid condition, and our quest to make her healthy way again. Tira has always loved playing on agility courses and equipment from the time she was 6 months old. When she was 7 years old, she started becoming fearful and unwilling to play agility. We knew something was very wrong.
We used our veterinary health care resources to diagnose Tira and started her on medication for low thyroid. But our job wasn’t finished, we had to find a way to bring her back to enjoying agility, and life, as she once had. This final chapter of Tira’s story tells how we used our knowledge of behavioural science and some clear thinking to work out a successful way to give Tira the life she deserves.
To catch up on the beginning of the story, links to part 1 & 2 are below.
