And what about the thyroid gland? – About canine hypothyroidism

Hardly any organ receives as much attention in dog owner and trainer circles as the thyroid gland, a small organ with a big impact. While for some it promises the solution to all problems, its influence on behavior is often denied by others. Much black and white – in this webinar, we want to dedicate ourselves to the shades of gray.

Thyroid hormones act almost everywhere in the body and also influence other hormones and neurotransmitters, which is why numerous, but often unspecific, symptoms occur with a dysfunction, which does not necessarily facilitate diagnosis.

In this webinar, we will take a closer look at the individual hormones, their regulatory circuit, their influence on other hormones and neurotransmitters, and the effects of a dysfunction on behavior and health, and clarify when treatment is promising and an improvement in behavioral problems can be expected.

• What about "subclinical" hypothyroidism?
• What behavioral effects can be expected?
• Which blood values are relevant?
• What does the treatment of hypothyroidism look like?

This webinar is suitable for dog owners and dog trainers who want to learn more about the connections between the thyroid gland and dog behavior.
