Thyroid disease in pets usually takes one of two forms: hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Since the thyroid helps regulate metabolism, an imbalance in thyroid hormones can affect your pet’s energy, weight, growth, and overall health. While many species can develop thyroid disease, some are more likely to develop one type over the other, leading to different challenges and treatment options.

In this webinar held on Wednesday, January 21st at 6PM, Dr. Mariel Covo, Senior Veterinarian and Specialist in Internal Medicine, discussed thyroid disease in dogs and cats. She reviewed the signs to watch for, explained how these conditions are diagnosed, and highlighted the latest treatment options to support your pet’s health and quality of life.
