Hypothyroidism is a significant health concern in dogs, affecting their metabolism, growth, and overall well-being. To effectively diagnose this condition, accurate testing methods are crucial. This comprehensive guide provides essential information on hypothyroidism testing in dogs, focusing specifically on cTT4 analysis using the advanced VG2 Vet Analyzer by Seamaty.
Hypothyroidism in dogs occurs when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to insufficient production of thyroid hormones. This condition can manifest through various symptoms, including obesity, skin problems, excessive sleepiness, lethargy, and exercise intolerance. Timely detection and proper diagnosis are vital for effective treatment.
cTT4 (canine total T4) analysis plays a pivotal role in assessing a dog's thyroid function. By measuring the levels of total T4, this test provides valuable insights into the functioning of the thyroid gland. The advanced VG2 Vet Analyzer, developed by Seamaty, is a cutting-edge diagnostic device that combines fluorescence immunoassay, blood gas, and electrolyte analysis capabilities in one portable and user-friendly device.
When a dog exhibits the above symptoms, the owner should make an appointment with a veterinarian. The typical diagnostic process includes:
- Total T4 measurement
- Complete blood count
- Biochemical profile
- Electrolyte analysis
- Urinalysis
- Thyroglobulin Autoantibody (TgAA)
