STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND THE PROBLEM OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN DOGS VETERINARY CLINICS KOSTANAY FOR THE YEARS 2011-2014

 

Endocrinology - one of the youngest and most rapidly developing branches of medicine. However, in veterinary practice diagnosis of endocrine diseases in its infancy, despite the urgency of this problem [1]. According to foreign researchers, hypothyroidism in dogs is a common endocrine disorders of the thyroid gland. It is known that age-T4 concentration in serum decreases gradually. It is also known that small breed dogs, unlike the large breeds slightly elevated levels of T4 [2].

According to reports veterinary clinics Kostanay for the years 2011-2014 at the receptions was 10320 dogs with different internal non-communicable diseases . Of which the share of endocrine diseases (pancreatitis , diabetes mellitus , hypothyroidism 2.99% and 0.01 %) were 3% , 4% of the nervous system , cardiovascular disease 7% , diseases of the genitourinary system 13% , skin diseases ( dermatitozy are paramount and unknown etiology , eczema, allergic dermatitis , parasitic dermatitis ) 15% , diseases of the respiratory system 22% , diseases of the digestive tract of 36%.

Thyroid - glandula thyreoidea - is paired organ , located on the first tracheal cartilage on the ventral side , reaching the cranial end of the larynx [3,4]. It distinguish lateral lobes - lobus dexter et sinister - and connecting them ventral isthmus - isthmus. Gland consists of bubbles - follicles - folliculus ( 0.02-0.6 mm diameter ) lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelium and filled with colloid. Follicles are packed into connective tissue forming the shell gland.

Colouring cancer brown- red or dark red . Consistency dense. There are additional thyroids - gl. thyreoidea accessoria [ 5 ].

Based on data from scientific publications may be noted that hypothyroidism is a disease of dogs that is caused by several reasons one of which is iodine deficiency [ 2,3,5 ] . According to data Cherenko MP, SP Sushko , Ignatovskoye Y. Shchepotin and IB [6] Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disease that causes skin lesions in dogs. Ninety percent of all cases of hypothyroidism in dogs are acquired and primary , that is due to a decrease in the ability of the thyroid gland to produce hormones .

Since Kostanay is biogeochemical area where there is a deficiency of iodine in feed and drinking in humans and animals predominate thyroid disease , namely hypothyroidism [7].

The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is difficult because of the variety of clinical symptoms of this pathology [8].

Routine blood tests rarely show changes in dogs with hypothyroidism and diagnostic plan can not accept [9].

In the study of research papers by various authors, we can say that the main feature at diagnosis for hypothyroidism is a measure of the total T4 and total T3 . But diagnosis is performed at the stage clinical signs in animals , which for years treated for skin diseases , do not yield the desired effect .

Also studied the many references on hypothyroidism nowhere described information on the prevention of hypothyroidism in dogs.
