For routine diagnosis of canine hypothyroidism, total T4 ± free T4 and TSH should be used. Total T4 alone is not diagnostic in most cases. Additional testing beyond TSH may be required to confirm diagnosis. Laboratory data should be evaluated in context. Signalment, including breed, age, and clinical signs, should play a role in deciding whether a dog requires additional testing and/or treatment. A therapeutic trial of L-thyroxine may be necessary. Laboratory data may not always give a definitive diagnosis. A therapeutic trial should be considered if clinical signs and signalment are highly suggestive of hypothyroidism but laboratory results are inconclusive. Hypothyroidism is overdiagnosed in dogs. Therapeutic trials of L-thyroxine should not be continued indefinitely without re-evaluating patient status, and not accounting for systemic illness during diagnosis and treatment can often lead to overdiagnosis. Thyroiditis may complicate diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism. The presence of anti-thyroglobulin, anti-T3, and/or anti-T4 antibodies does not necessarily indicate functional thyroid failure but should increase suspicion for hypothyroidism.
