This chapter discusses hyperthyroidism in dogs and considers both functional thyroid neoplasia and dietary thyrotoxicosis. It covers the classification and pathogenesis of thyroid tumours in dogs, as well as their clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. It emphasizes the importance of thorough staging and evaluation of local invasiveness and metastases to determine the most appropriate treatment. Surgical excision, radiation therapy, and radioactive iodine therapy are discussed as potential treatment options, along with their associated outcomes. Chemotherapy and other emerging treatments, such as toceranib phosphate, are also considered. Prognostic factors and the overall prognosis for dogs with thyroid tumours are also discussed.
