Dog > Hypothyroidism
Information
Hypothyroidism (a sluggish thyroid gland) is the most common endocrine gland disease in neutered dogs from four to six years of age.
The quality and abundance of hair in the dog’s coat can be a tell-tail sign of hypothyroidism. The dog’s coat is often scrufy, flaky and dull. The coat commonly lacks finer body hairs and undercoat. The tail may be bald as a rat’s tail. Also, hypothyroid dogs commonly have excess black pigment in the skin around their groin.
There are certain diseases that dog's can have during their lives that can cause many problems in their overall health.
With hypothyroidism in dogs their endocrine system tends to suffer the most. The endocrine system regulates things like temperature, weight, memory, muscles, and a few other things.
