Abstract in brief

The study reviewed 102 dogs treated for hypothyroidism across seven veterinary practices to evaluate whether their diagnosis of hypothyroidism was accurate, as there is concern that some dogs might be incorrectly diagnosed and treated unnecessarily.
Three veterinary specialists independently assessed each case and categorized them into four groups based on the likelihood of actual hypothyroidism, revealing variability in diagnosis confidence and highlighting the potential for overdiagnosis.
The findings suggest that hypothyroidism may often be overdiagnosed in primary care settings, emphasizing the importance of conducting thyroid function tests primarily in dogs with a high likelihood of having the disease to avoid unnecessary treatment.]
