Supports healthy thyroid balance in pets with clinical hypothyroidism Promotes normal activity and weight Helps maintain energy and activity levels Helps improve your pets coat quality Promotes healthy skin Your pets Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland regulates numerous functions by secreting hormones in response to feedback from the body. There are two hormones called T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). They are manufactured in the thyroid gland under the influence of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) from the anterior pituitary gland. The thyroid stores T3 and T4 and releases them into the body as needed. Although larger quantities of T4 are secreted, T3 is more potent and more active. Thyroid hormones increase the metabolic rate and also regulate the body temperature (thermoregulation). They do this by causing cells to take in more oxygen to make ATP, a molecule that carries energy. As cells use more oxygen to produce ATP, heat is given off and body temperature increases. The following is a list of possible canine signs and symptoms if there are low thyroid hormones: Low energy Weight gain Dry skin and hair; skin may turn darker in patches and be susceptible to infections Symmetrical hair loss on tail, trunk and possibly head Furrowed skin on the face Cold intolerance (may seek warm places) Depression; doesn't show enthusiasm Bowel changes such as diarrhea or constipation Joint problems Heart abnormalities such as enlarged heart, slow heartbeat (bradycardia) or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
