  • Title: Serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentrations in canine pyoderma.
    Author: Slade EA, Thompson FN, Lorenz MD, Kemppainen RJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1984 Jul 15; 185(2):216-8. PubMed ID: 6746394.
    Abstract:
    In an effort to evaluate the effect of pyoderma on circulating iodothyronines, plasma triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) values were determined before and after thyroid stimulating hormone administration in 25 dogs with pyoderma and in 15 controls. Basal T4 values were increased in dogs with pyoderma, but neither stimulated T4 nor T3 values were altered by this condition. On the basis of low values for circulating iodothyronines, hypothyroidism was suspected in 3 dogs in the pyoderma group. The dog with the most involved lesions had extremely low T3 and T4 values as well as an autoimmune disease. It was concluded that most dogs with pyoderma do not have thyroid dysfunction.
