Yes, definitely, trying the Tapazole first, IMO (assuming no liver

prob)! It's non-invasive, compared w/ major surgery. Also, once the
surgery is done, that's that. If her thyroid levels are initially still not
on target - which is common for both animals & people, then the medication

can be adjusted one way or the other by small increments.


Thanks. I will discuss this with our vet as soon as the blood work results
are in (he said tomorrow, as they are open on Saturdays), and see what he
says.
