" With Hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is not making enough of a hormone called thyroxine that controls metabolism (the process of turning food into fuel). Hypothyroidism causes a wide variety of symptoms, but is often suspected in dogs that have trouble with weight gain or obesity and suffer from hair loss and skin problems. The good news is this disease isn?t life-threatening, it?s easy to diagnose with a blood test, and it?s fairly easy and inexpensive to treat. Treatment is typically a thyroid supplement taken daily."
