Veterinary Endocrinology
Veterinary endocrinology deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of hormone-related diseases in animals. The endocrine system controls vital functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction through glands like the thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands.
Common Endocrine Disorders
- Diabetes Mellitus: Common in dogs and cats due to insulin imbalance.
- Hypothyroidism/Hyperthyroidism: Affects metabolism and energy levels.
- Cushing’s & Addison’s Disease: Caused by adrenal gland dysfunction.
Precautions & Care Tips
- Maintain a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise routine.
- Schedule routine vet checkups for early detection.
- Monitor changes in thirst, weight, or energy levels.
- Administer prescribed medication consistently under veterinary guidance.
Timely diagnosis and hormonal balance management play a crucial role in maintaining your pet’s overall health and quality of life.
