Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) is relatively common in dogs and quite rare in cats. Excess thyroid function (hyperthyroidism) is rare in dogs, but is one of the most common diseases diagnosed in cats 8 years of age or older. Each cat may respond to hyperthyroidism a little differently, causing abnormalities to vary from cat to cat.

Thyroid hormones are known as “triiodothyronine” or T3 and “tetraiodothyronine” or T4. Decreased levels of thyroid hormone can affect the body in many ways. Genetics. No known genetic basis for the inheritance of primary hypothyroidism in dogs

The thyroid gland forms an H in a human throat as shown in the graphic above, although in dogs, the thyroid exists as two separate halves. The thyroid produces two forms of thyroid hormone: T3, which is the active form of the hormone, and T4, which is the inactive form created to circulate in the bloodstream.

However, it is believed that through indirect mechanisms, chronic thyroid dysfunction may affect the brain’s ability to either produce hormones or respond to hormones released by the testicles in feedback loops and may thereby result in reproductive dysfunction and infertility secondarily (in dogs with overt signs of hypothyroidism).

The thyroid produces thyroid hormone, a substance that is transported via the blood to all cells in the body. The primary function of thyroid hormone is control of the rate that cells function: Too much thyroid hormone makes cells work too fast. Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) is relatively common in dogs and quite rare in cats.

This could be considered a behavioural issue in many dogs, but the very low thyroid levels tend to affect mood and sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between aggressive behaviour due to thyroid levels and socialisation or training issues. Thyroid replacement therapy has worked well in many cases to relieve aggression in dogs with ...

Today, although dogs (and cats) have a great range of genetic and behavioral variability, a shocking 1 3 million of them --10% of the total pet population -- are being destroyed annually because of behavioral problems. Theory How diminished thyroid function affects behavior is mechanistically unclear.

INTRODUCTION . The Great Dane suffers from a variety of endocrine diseases on occasion, most notably autoimmune thyroiditis (AITH) which is typically called “low thyroid” (i.e. hypothyroidism), and autoimmune hypoadrenocorticism, more commonly referred to as Addison’s disease (AD).

What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Low Thyroid Function in Dogs…
Dogs may suffer from low thyroid due to a number of causes. Owners should be aware that it is an inheritable trait; Dr. Dodds has observed numerous cases of hypothyroid running in certain families in certain breeds – something breeders of affected animals would rather not hear.
