Hello ^^ I’m healthy Wang Jiha.Today, I will introduce about hypothyroidism in dogs.My 14-year-old snowman, who lives with me, has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since 2009 and is being treated with syndiloid medicine.
Nuntengyi went camping in the mountains together in the summer of 2017, when he was stung by ticks while running around the mountains. (´; ;; ))
After shaving and treating ticks, the hair grew here and there, and I have been suffering from skin disease since the summer of 2018.I repeated the healing and pain many times.

At this time, I ate well and thought it was simple dermatitis, so I went to the hospital and received medicine and ointment prescriptions and treated them once a day with a bath, ointment, and medicine.” (Dermal fungus treatment was the most effective.)Despite the steady treatment, I moved to the hospital repeatedly getting better and worse, but he said he recommended testing the thyroid gland as it was suspected of being sick.I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few days after the outsourced examination. What is hypothyroidism?
symptoms of hypothyroidism in puppies with low or deficient thyroid hormone levels in the body due to difficulty in producing thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland
1. The most representative symptoms are recurrent skin disease and hair loss on the tail side, which makes it look like a rat tail, and symmetrical hair loss on the back side.There are symptoms of hair loss in 60-80%, but sometimes hair loss does not appear.2. Hair is easily dry and does not grow after shaving 3. Fatigue, depressed expression, and decreased activity 4. If you have a poor appetite but gain weight, I recommend you to go to the veterinary hospital and get a checkup soon.I don’t know what I regret the most, so I said, “Do I get tired when I get older? Don’t you want to move when I get older?Are you old and depressed? Do I sleep a lot when I’m old?” I thought.I was angry at myself and sad when I thought how painful it was at the corner of my eyes after the diagnosis.Please take a good look at the puppy. examination of hypothyroidism in puppies
We diagnose hypothyroidism in dogs based on hormone levels in the blood by collecting blood.First of all, we select through T4 test and conduct additional tests such as Free T4 and TSH test to confirm the examination.This was different for each hospital I visited.Some did T4, Free T4, and TSH all at once, while others only did T4.And the results of thyroid hormone tests in the veterinary hospital came out in 30 minutes, and I received the results on the phone a few days later when sending samples to outsourcing companies. treatment of hypothyroidism in puppies
The treatment was prescribed with medicine in the same way everywhere.I started at the lowest concentration and took it for two weeks, kept the dosage while looking at the dog’s condition (whether he was tired or eating well), and then put the medicine once every three weeks and once every month.Once you start taking thyroid medication, you have to take it for the rest of your life ^^…
Recently, my dog is very itchy, so when I went to the veterinary hospital, I told him to increase the capacity of the medicine and see.Right now, I’m only making a little bit of bals.^^I hope the dogs don’t get sick, but if they can’t do that, I hope they live as long as possible without pain.In order to do so, a steady checkup is necessary when you get a certain age.If you have frequent skin diseases, I recommend you to take a thyroid hormone test.Currently, it looks like chicken hair around the eyes, but the hair is growing overall.^^Until the day of longevity with pets!Elf Moon Dance ◯ ピク PixabayElf Moon Dance ◯ ピク Pixabay
