Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism is an uncommon disease in dogs and is rare in cats but must still be considered as a possible cause of hypercalcaemia, particularly in an older, relatively asymptomatic dog. This chapter will discuss all recognized forms of hyperparathyroidism and their appropriate management strategies. Case examples: 10-year old male neutered Keeshond, 23.5 kg; 11-year-old male Beagle, 17 kg
