Dog Thyroid & Hormone Medication FAQs
What are the signs of thyroid disease in dogs?
Hypothyroidism causes weight gain, lethargy, hair loss, and skin infections, while hyperthyroidism, though rare, leads to weight loss, increased appetite, and restlessness. Blood tests confirm thyroid disorders, and treatment with levothyroxine helps regulate hormone levels.
How is Cushing’s disease diagnosed in dogs?
Cushing’s disease is diagnosed through blood tests, urine tests, and adrenal function screenings. Symptoms like excessive thirst, panting, weight gain, and hair loss may indicate the condition. Vetoryl (trilostane) is commonly prescribed to manage cortisol production.
Can hormone imbalances cause urinary incontinence in dogs?
Yes, spayed female dogs may develop hormone-responsive urinary incontinence due to estrogen deficiency. Medications like Incurin (estriol) or estradiol help strengthen bladder control and reduce urine leakage by restoring hormonal balance.
Is weight gain in dogs linked to thyroid problems?
Yes, hypothyroidism slows metabolism, causing unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and coat thinning. A thyroid hormone replacement like levothyroxine helps restore normal metabolic function, energy levels, and healthy body weight in affected dogs.
Can dogs with hormone disorders live a normal life?
Yes, with proper medication, diet, and regular vet check-ups, dogs with thyroid or hormone imbalances can live a healthy and active life. Long-term treatment with Vetoryl, levothyroxine, or hormone therapy helps manage symptoms and maintain overall well-being.
