Diagnosis and management of canine hypothyroidism. – Dr. Manolis Saridomichelakis

Canine acquired hypothyroidism is a relatively common disease but, in clinical practice, it is overdiagnosed. The reasons are multiple and they include, among others, non-thyroidal illness, drug administration, laboratory errors, and diagnosis based solely on hormone concentrations without consideration of the signalment, the clinical presentation and the results of routine laboratory test results. The treatment of the disease is relatively easy, but treatment monitoring is commonly neglected
