  • Title: Hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea associated with primary hypothyroidism in a bitch.
    Author: Cortese L, Oliva G, Verstegen J, Ciaramella P, Persechino A.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 1997 Dec; 38(12):572-5. PubMed ID: 9444640.
    Abstract:
    An endocrinopathy characterised by hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea was found to be associated with primary hypothyroidism in an entire bitch. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by lowered baseline T4 blood levels, reduced response to the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, elevated prolactin and TSH values, and echographic and scintigraphic examinations. Levothyroxine treatment resulted in a clinical improvement (especially of the galactorrhoea), and levels of prolactin, thyroxine, TSH, triglycerides and total cholesterol plasma returned to normal.
