Thyroid Disease in Pets with Dr. Jean Dodds (Part 1 of 2)

Dr. Becker chats with Dr. Jean Dodds, the leading authority on thyroid disease in pets. Dr. Dodds discusses the best tests for an accurate diagnosis of hypothyroidism in dogs, and why some cats go from hyper to hypo.

Dr. Jean Dodds is a world-renowned expert on thyroid disease in pets, and today she discusses the importance of using the right tests to accurately assess thyroid function in dogs and cats.

Canine hypothyroidism typically goes undiagnosed until it is far progressed and 70% or more of the thyroid gland has been compromised. Dr. Dodds recommends a complete thyroid antibody profile versus the total T4 test.

Hyperthyroid cats often become hypothyroid within a matter of months after medical intervention that inactivates their thyroid gland. These cats do quite well with added thyroid hormones that return them to a state of metabolic balance.
