Hypothyroid conditions in pets
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which have a number of functions in the body and are particularly critical in maintaining your pet’s metabolic rate. Any change in the functioning of this gland can have varied effects on your pet’s health. In some animals (and humans) the function of the thyroid gland may become compromised and decrease as your pet ages or due to inflammation of the gland. Although hypothyroidism (decreased functioning of the thyroid) is not a life-threatening condition, it can certainly decrease your dog or cat’s quality of life.
Pets with hypothyroid conditions may gain weight without any change in their diet. Many become lethargic and seem to lack energy. The coat and skin may suffer from the lack of thyroid hormones, leading to hair loss and dry skin. Constipation, slow heart rate and infertility are also common problems in pets with hypothyroidism.
The symptoms of hypothyroidism may be insidious in onset and not immediately obvious. If your pet has been putting on weight or you suspect hypothyroidism for another reason, it is best to consult your vet who will be able to test for this condition by measuring thyroid hormones in the blood.
The natural way
Hypothyroidism in pets is conventionally treated by administering a daily dose of synthetic thyroid hormones. This can often restore healthy thyroid functioning very effectively.
One of the main problems with synthetic thyroid hormones, however, is that they may result in too much thyroid hormone in the body, resulting in hyperthyroidism. This is because it is often difficult to determine exactly how much of the synthetic hormones are needed for optimal thyroid functioning.
Natural remedies are a safe, gentle and effective alternative to conventional medicine, without the risk of dangerous side effects or addiction. They can be used to relieve symptoms of hypothyroidism in pets by addressing the underlying causes and help improve the overall functioning of the thyroid.
The thyroid gland does not operate in isolation and should be seen as part of overall systemic functioning. Therefore, it makes sense that regular exercise and a balanced diet are important in maintaining systemic as well as thyroid health. Iodine is a mineral that is crucial to supporting the thyroid gland and it is therefore important that your pet's diet include iodine or an iodine supplement also found in kelp extracts. Certain herbs are also known to relieve symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. As animals react well to supplementation, these can also play an important role in supporting your pet's thyroid functioning. Supplementation can be equally effective in maintaining skin and coat health, digestive functioning and maintaining a healthy body weight. |
