Summary

Endocrine diseases in dogs often cause skin problems. Hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism are common, leading to hair loss, infections, and other dermatological issues in canine patients.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Canine Endocrinology

Background:

  • Endocrine diseases are frequently linked to skin manifestations in dogs.
  • Hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism are prevalent endocrinopathies with characteristic dermatological signs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the common dermatological lesions associated with endocrine diseases in dogs.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation of hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism in canine patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common endocrine diseases in dogs.
  • Description of associated dermatological and clinical signs.

Main Results:

  • Hypothyroidism commonly causes alopecia, seborrhea, and infections.
  • Hyperadrenocorticism presents with polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and symmetrical alopecia.

  • Sex hormone excess can lead to dermatological signs, often linked to neoplasia in intact dogs.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dermatological signs are key indicators of underlying endocrine disorders in dogs.
    • Accurate diagnosis of endocrine diseases requires correlating clinical signs with dermatological findings.
