Hypothyroidsm

we have a labrador pet at home age is 10 years. He has been diagnosied with hyporthyroidsm since 6 months. Doctor here suggested to give him a dose like in the morning 400mcg and in the night 400 mcg. Could you please suggest the normal dosage of thyronorm?

Actually the opnion of our family doctor who treats our dog has suggested to reduce the dosage since the dog has developed palpitations, loose motions, sleeplessness, lethargic.He says these symptoms are more related to the toxic side effects.
the dog is now medicated with 400mg(morn)+400mcg(eve), Carnisure because heart rate  and lacilactone for palpitations
What is in your opnion about the dogs over dose?
Kindly Suggest a remedy for us

A normal dose for  thyroid is 20 mcg per kilogram.
Therefore a normal dose for your dog would be 1000mcg twice daily.
