    Primary hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder characterized by destruction of the thyroid resulting in deficiency in the production of hormones T3 and T4 and affecting the body's metabolic processes. Dogs are usually affected during middle age and show lethargy, weight gain, alopecia, pyoderma and seborrhea. As soon as the problem is diagnosed, treatment with synthetic levothyroxine must be initiated and the animal must be monitored periodically through laboratory tests, allowing the control of hormones.
