Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disorder in dogs. The present paper puts on record various ailments associated with primary hypothyroidism caused by thyroxine (T 4 ) deficiency and peripheral disorders in euthyroid dogs, which mimic hypothyroidism. The study undertaken on 10,172 dogs presented at the clinics with skin and coat incongruity, revealed clinical manifestations suggestive of hypothyroidism in 182 (1.78%) dogs, out of which 47 (25.8%) dogs demonstrated significantly (P0…

Canine pseudohypothyroidism and covert hypothyroidism.

A definitive diagnosis of hypothyroidism in an adult dog is a retrospective assessment based on complete recovery after appropriate thyroid hormone replacement.

Effects of moderate to severe osteoarthritis on canine thyroid function.

Based on the results of this study, osteoarthritis does not need to be considered a factor influencing thyroid function evaluation in dogs, and no dogs would have been misdiagnosed as hypothyroid.

Assessment of thyroid function in dogs with low plasma thyroxine concentration.

The results of this study confirm earlier observations that, in dogs, accurate biochemical diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism poses specific problems.

Portal vein and aortic thromboses in a Siberian husky with ehrlichiosis and hypothyroidism.

The authors concluded that the thrombi were primarily caused by chronic ehrlichiosis, based on the clinical findings and the response to treatment.

The effect of levothyroxine treatment on resting energy expenditure of hypothyroid dogs.

Energy expenditure of apparent rest was lower in untreated hypothyroid dogs compared with reference values for EE, and after treatment with L-thyroxine, EE was significantly (P < .05) higher than pretreatment values.

ERG findings in three hypothyroid adult dogs with and without levothyroxine treatment.

The results indicate that a dose of 20 microg/kg of LTh given to adult dogs was accompanied by a marked peak time shortening of both photopic and scotopic ERGs, without affecting other ERG parameters.
