Cats and Dogs have two thyroid glands in their neck that produce hormones that control their metabolism. The glands can become over or under active, causing hyper or hypothyroidism. If your vet suspects a thyroid disorder they will conduct a blood test, to check T3 and T4 levels as well as checking your pets blood pressure and heart rate. Many pets can live long and happy lives with thyroid disease, if it is kept under control, but regular visits to the vet and monitoring tests are often necessary. Hyperthyroidism is most common in older cats. It is caused when the thyroid produces and releases abnormal amounts of the T3 or T4 hormone. Many cases are caused by a benign tumour called adenoma, however in rare cases can be a result of cancer. Thyroid hormones affect many of the body’s organs, and therefore thyroid disease can cause secondary conditions. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include: • Increased appetite • Increased thirst (and urination) • Weight loss • Restlessness (noisy and demanding attention) • Lethargy • Vomiting and diarrhoea • Poor coat and hair loss • A lump in the neck • Rapid heart rate There are a few options for treatment of hyperthyroidism including: • Radioactive iodine therapy (via specialist referral) • Medication • Surgery • Specialised prescription diets Hypothyroidism is most common in dogs. It is when the thyroid glands are under active and don’t produce enough hormone, usually as a result of the immune system attacking the gland. Sometimes the reason for the reduction in the size of the gland is unexplainable. Hypothyroidism is quite rare in cats, although is sometimes seen as a result of some treatments for other conditions. Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include: • Decreased appetite • Weight gain • Lethargy • Cold intolerance • Poor coat and hair loss • Slow hair regrowth • Constipation Unlike hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism is much more limited in treatment options and is contro
