Two dogs with increased thyroxin concentrations compatible with hyperthyroidism were referred for further examinations. One dog displayed clinical signs of hyperthyroidism. Based on history, clinical examination, laboratory evaluation and scintigraphy an alimentary thyrotoxicosis was identified. It was caused by feeding a BARF diet containing thyroidal tissue in one dog and by conventional dog food in the other patient. After changing the diet the clinical signs resolved in the affected dog. A control examination revealed thyroxin concentrations within the reference range in both dogs.
两只甲状腺素浓度升高且符合甲状腺功能亢进的犬被转诊进行进一步检查。其中一只犬表现出甲状腺功能亢进的临床症状。根据病史、临床检查、实验室评估和闪烁扫描，确诊为食源性甲状腺毒症。一只犬是因为喂食了含有甲状腺组织的生食喂养（BARF）饮食，另一只犬则是因为食用了传统狗粮。更换饮食后，患病犬的临床症状消失。对照检查显示两只犬的甲状腺素浓度均在参考范围内。
