January 2023 in “International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology” This case report highlights the association between canine hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus through the example of an 11-year-old male Lhasa Apso exhibiting symptoms like apathy, anorexia, bilateral symmetric alopecia, polyuria, polydipsia, and cataracts. Blood tests confirmed the presence of both hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus. Hypothyroidism, the most common endocrine disorder in dogs, can lead to polyendocrine syndromes, including diabetes, due to immune-mediated attacks on endocrine system antigens. The report underscores the importance for veterinarians to recognize clinical signs and conduct thorough testing for effective diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
