Title: Testing for hypothyroidism in dogs. Author: Ferguson DC. Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2007 Jul; 37(4):647-69, v. PubMed ID: 17619004. Abstract: Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy in the dog. Rather than being a comprehensive review of all possible thyroid function tests, the focus in this article is on the logical progression of test choice, highlighting total thyroxine, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropin (TSH), and antithyroid antibodies.
