Veterinary Q&A: Thyroid epidemic in dogs?
Answer: Because thyroid hormones, released from thyroid glands, control all the organ and cellular functions of the body.Question: You say there is an epidemic in canine thyroid disease. Please explain how you reached this conclusion.
Answer: Decades of line breeding and inbreeding within purebred dog breeds -- and even the crossbreeds and mixed breeds -- were designed to "fix" the physical appearance, behavioral and performance traits of particular breed types to standardize the breeds and make them more alike genetically. However, this also placed them at an increased risk of being affected by undesirable health or behavioral conditions.
When we add the increasing effect of pollution of our environment, depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere, accumulation of toxic wastes and appearance of more infectious agents, parasites and chemicals to this genetically similar and thus susceptible population of dogs (or other animal species and humans), the increase in autoimmune conditions, including endocrine disorders, becomes inevitable.
