That's a relief. I bet you the other vet did a 30sec count and forgot to double it!

Hmmm well, that would be a kicker! Though she took his heart rate on two different visits and got the same result so.... not sure .

Another update
Hello all!
Okay, here is where we are. Frankie's Thyroid test and CBC all came back negative!
So this is good news. However, we are still left with symptoms that do not make sense. I have been tracking his heart rate - I have gotten mid to high 50s and even in the 60s today. So ????
not sure what was up with the really low rate two times in the vets office but the next move may be to see a heart specialist to determine if this explains the panting and low energy. It could also be the energy shift we have been undergoing but I don't want to leave any stone unturned exploring this just yet. I will say, however, I am relieved that Frankie's Thyroid is healthy. Let's keep our thoughts positive that there is just nothing wrong. 
I will keep checking in and so appreciate all your love, prayers and support. You really help me feel better when things can be confusing and scary.

Thryoid numbers
Here are Frankie's test results: Normal
T4 1.42
Free T4 0.97
T3 30.5
Free T3 1.90
Thyroglobulin Autoantibody (TgAA) 3
The numbers appear on the lower end of the general range and for Shelties - any thoughts?
