Manager of Veterinery Services Norden Laboratories HYPOTHYROIDISM IN OLDER DOGS Companionship is one of the main reasons for choosing a dog over another type of pet. A dog can accompany you on walks through the country, or peric up your spirits on a dull day at home. A healthy, spirited dog is a welcome ad* dition to almost any family. Sometimes though, a dog owner will begin to notice a premature sluggishness in his pet. It begins to gain weight; it prefers to stay in a warm corner rather than romping outside. The owner may attribute this behavior to the fact that his dog is "no longer a puppy," Or he'll? shrug it off and decide that the dog is just rtot part of an "ac* tive breed." This is an un­ fortunate attitude. x There are various reasons • why a dog becomes sluggish ' before old age. Some of them, such as hypothyroidism, are health problems and should be corrected. , Hypothyroidism is a con­ dition that develops when • small gland in the neck, called the thyroid, produces in­ sufficient quantities of a hor­ mone that has a direct effect on canine metabolism and regulates how food is used to satisfy nutritional and energy needs. Too little thyroid hor­ mone sends few of the food calories into energy production and makes the dog gain weight sometimes to the point of obesity. The hypothyroid dog tends to lose hair, especially on its back. It can develop sores on the skin. A dog with a low hormone level cannot regulate its internal body temperature very well and chills easily. It will seek additional warmth, even in the summertime. Breeders may notice that females do not come into heat or have difficulty in becoming pregnant. This confusing set of symp­ toms prompts some owners and breeders to mistakenly try and treat their pete at hyne. They may try vitamins tor the poor coat condition, or a different diet to control weight gain. Only when these therapies do not work, do they seek their veterinarians' assistance. True thyroid deficiency responds only to a hormone supplement, with the dosage carefully regulated for the individual pet. Even if an alert pet owner correctly diagnoses a thyroid problem, the correct dosage is not easily determined. Too much hormone is as bad as not enough. If the dog is over- medicated, it will develop a fast heartbeat, becomes nervous and restless. In the United States, there is an area called the "thyroid belt" that starts from the Great Lakes Basin, goes across the Northern Great Plains, the upper Mississippi Valley and extends through the Rocky Mountain States. In this area, a special type of thyroid deficiency called goiter is often seen. , Goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland caused by a lack of iodine in the diet. Iodine, an essential ingredient of thyroid hormones, is not readily available in the water or locally grown food in this area. The thyroid gland swells in response to this deficiency. An iodine supplement, usually in the form of iodized salt, will reduce the swelling. The veterinarian may recommend . feeding more commercial pet food since it contains higher levels of iodine. Your - veterinarian .is the person best equipped to diagnose and treat your pet's thyroid problems. I recom­ mend that you visit your veterinarian if you notice signs of hypothyroidism so that the condition can be treated as quickly and effectively as possible. Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet' owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. The Veterans administration operates 1717 hospitals, 17 of which have been completed • during the last 10 years. CRYSTAL LAKE UPHOLSTERY SINCE 1945 REPAIRING & REGLUING Larry & Jim Seymour - SISM5MM3
