Megaesophagus, hypercalcemia, and eosinophilia associated with glucocorticoid deficiency were detected in a 5-year-old neutered female Standard Poodle with concurrent hypothyroidism. Clinical and biochemical abnormalities resolved with glucocorticoid replacement treatment, and the dog was normal 29 months after diagnosis. The dog's breed and sex and the existence of a second endocrinopathy supported an underlying immunologic disorder.
在一只5岁已绝育的雌性标准贵宾犬中，检测到巨食管症、高钙血症和与糖皮质激素缺乏相关的嗜酸性粒细胞增多，该犬同时患有甲状腺功能减退。临床和生化异常通过糖皮质激素替代治疗得到缓解，诊断后29个月该犬恢复正常。该犬的品种、性别以及第二种内分泌病的存在支持潜在的免疫性疾病。
