To describe the clinical presentation, clinical course, and management of a dog with thyroid storm (TS) secondary to a functional thyroid carcinoma.
A 12-year-old neutered female Golden Retriever was evaluated for severe weight loss, hyperthermia, and tachycardia. The dog had a ventral neck mass and markedly increased thyroxine concentration. Cervical ultrasound showed a suspected left thyroid mass with invasion into the jugular vein. Despite aggressive therapy, the patient progressed to a clinical TS. Postmortem examination was supportive of the clinical diagnosis.
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of TS in a dog.
描述一只继发于功能性甲状腺癌的甲状腺危象(TS)犬的临床症状、临床经过和治疗方法。
一只 12 岁已绝育雌性金毛猎犬因严重消瘦、发热和心动过速就诊。患犬颈部下方有一肿块,且甲状腺素浓度显著升高。颈部超声显示疑似左侧甲状腺肿块,并侵犯颈静脉。尽管采取了积极的治疗措施,患犬仍发展为临床甲状腺危象。尸检结果支持临床诊断。
据作者所知,这是犬甲状腺危象的首例报告。
