| Well, someone else might for sure know more than I, however I have found that too many vets are quick to put a dog on synthroid with marginal test results so I always recommend being conservative about that. With the pred and acetate, the poor girl has quite a bit of chemistry going on in her system doesn't she? Thyroid tests are quite tricky and I believe should be taken over time prior to deciding to medicate. Not trying to argue with your vet, and don't know what thyroid panels he has had done, so I should not assume anything. Sorry if I have. The pred of course is going to affect her weight and appetite. For sure, you want to treat the Addisons.
Anyway, inquiring minds all want to know what problems he thinks are associated with using the pinch, so make sure you get back to us when you have a chance to ask him. We could learn something new or have new issues to consider. (although I believe he is most likely advancing a personal opinion in regards to the pinch itself. Of course, you can always say, hey, why don't you work with this dog on a buckle collar then and show me how to do it?) :D
