My dog has a thyroid problem that we got tested at the vet. The vet gave him levothyroxine. He hasn't been to his month check up yet but I was wondering how long it took to see changes in other dogs? He has really dry skin but I was hoping it would improve after we found the thyroid problem. Now I'm beiginning to think its just a dobie trait.

His coat condition may have as much to do with diet as it does his thyroid imbalance. If he's already on a premium diet, then give the meds a few months to show signs of health improvement, on the outside. (Your check up now, at 1+ month, should show normal thyroid level now, but other things can take awhile to clear up.)
This is probably not very helpful....(dogs and humans anatomy probably works very differently) but when I started taking thyroxine tablets, I felt the effects in myself within about half an hour! and the weight started dropping off me within a couple of weeks but my skin and hair took a few months to sort themselves out.
