| dc.description.abstract | The present work was conducted to study the prevalence of hypothyroidism, haemato-biochemical alteration and its therapeutic management in the affected dogs. The study was conducted from December 2014 to May 2016 at TVCC and the samples were collected from suspected dogs based on history and clinical signs. A total of 9695 dogs were registered during the study period of which 56 dogs resulted positive and the overall prevalence was recorded as 0.57 per cent. The highest prevalence of 11.60 per cent was recorded in the age group of 1.5 to 5 years, with the Golden Retriever dogs documenting the highest prevalence of 13.70 per cent. The duly noted clinical signs were bilateral symmetrical alopecia, erythema, pruritus, scaling, seborrhoea, folliculitis, weight gain,pyoderma, crusts, hyperpigmentation, hyperkeratosis and comedone. The hormonal study disclosed a significant decrease in the level of T4 and T3, and significant increase in the levels of total serum creatine phosphokinase and total serum cholesterol. During the present study, it was found that out of the three treatment schedules, levothyroxine sodium, cephalexin, fluconazole, with kiskin and san coat along with exercise was found to be best followed by levothyroxine sodium, cephalexin, fluconazole with kiskin and san coat and levothyroxine sodium alone on the basis of clinical remission. | en_US |
