This article details common canine hypothyroidism, feline hyperthyroidism, and canine hyperadrenocorticism in older pets. It covers clinical signs, diagnosis, and management for these geriatric endocrine diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Geriatric Care

Background:

  • Geriatric animals are susceptible to endocrine disorders.
  • Adrenal and thyroid diseases are prevalent in older dogs and cats.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common adrenal and thyroid diseases in geriatric canine and feline patients.
  • To provide information on clinical signs, diagnosis, and management strategies.
  • To briefly touch upon less common conditions like feline hyperadrenocorticism and pheochromocytoma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current veterinary knowledge.
  • Focus on hypothyroidism in dogs, hyperthyroidism in cats, and hyperadrenocorticism in dogs.
