ThyroVet Powder can be applied to the grain as a top dressing, ideally ground or rolled, or mixed with the concentrate. To help ThyroVet Powder adhere to the ration properly, lightly wet the grain with a liquid supplement or water. Once daily or in equally divided doses, 0.5 to 3.0 mg levothyroxine sodium (T-4) per 100 pounds of body weight (1 mg to 6 mg per 100 kg) is recommended as a starting dosage. Clinical response to ThyroVet Powder treatment should be assessed until a suitable maintenance dosage is determined. The total daily dosage of T-4 in most horses is between 6 and 36 mg. Individual horses on thyroid supplements might have a wide range of serum T-3 and T-4 levels. Individualized dosages should be used, and animals should be checked daily for symptoms of hypersensitivity or hyperthyroidism. Follow your veterinarian's instructions.
