Thyroid disease can affect dogs and cats very differently, and the right diagnosis is the first step toward getting your pet back to feeling balanced.
At Rose Veterinary, we're here to test, diagnose, and treat thyroid conditions with a plan built around your pet. To learn more or schedule testing, call us today at (602) 341-5214.
Thyroid disease is one of the most common hormonal conditions we see in pets, and it can look very different depending on the animal. Dogs are more likely to develop hypothyroidism, which slows metabolism, while cats more commonly develop hyperthyroidism, which speeds it up. At Rose Veterinary, we diagnose and treat both conditions to help your pet feel balanced again.
Diagnosis starts with blood testing to measure your pet's thyroid hormone levels. Depending on the results, we may recommend daily medication, dietary management, or additional therapies. We'll schedule follow-up bloodwork to fine-tune your pet's treatment and make sure their levels stay in a healthy range.
Untreated thyroid disease can lead to significant weight changes, heart strain, and a lower quality of life. With proper treatment, most pets with thyroid disease go on to live comfortable, active lives, so early diagnosis and consistent management make a real difference.
If your pet is showing signs of thyroid disease, contact Rose Veterinary at (602) 341-5214 to schedule testing.
