Fighting chance

Dear Dogs Today,

My six-and-a-half-year-old Yorkie has an underactive thyroid which he takes Forthyron 0.4mg for twice a day.

He also has dry eye, skin problems which affect his paws badly and weight problems, some days he seems depressed and doesn't want to play or do anything. He also gets out of breath very quickly.

Do you know what sort of lifespan he will have? Also how will we know when his quality of life is bad as i would hate to think of him suffering.
