Understanding Pet
Endocrinology
Our pets contain a system of glands that work to secrete essential hormones that help regulate the functions of the body. These glands include the: thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. The collection of these glands makes up our endocrine system, which plays a vital role in our health and happiness. In addition, our pets have a very similar endocrine system, making it easier for us to study and evaluate if they may suffer from an endocrine disorder.
A veterinary endocrinology study can be beneficial when combatting several diseases and disorders, including:
- Diabetes
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Cushing’s disease
- Addison’s disease
When the glands in your pet’s endocrine system secrete too many or too few hormones, their body will likely have a negative impact. The consequences could be severe if they are not diagnosed and treated on time.
