Neither of my hounds have had thyroid problems, but one of my brother's Dobermans did. He was lethargic, got sores that would not heal & his coat was very dull & coarse. Once he was diagnosed, he took a pill a day (can't remember what, it was awhile ago) and he was a different dog. He stayed on the medication for life & did very well.
