An endocrinopathy characterised by hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea was found to be associated with primary hypothyroidism in an entire bitch. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by lowered baseline T4 blood levels, reduced response to the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, elevated prolactin and TSH values, and echographic and scintigraphic examinations. Levothyroxine treatment resulted in a clinical improvement (especially of the galactorrhoea), and levels of prolactin, thyroxine, TSH, triglycerides and total cholesterol plasma returned to normal.
在一只成年母犬中，发现一种以高催乳素血症和溢乳为特征的内分泌病与原发性甲状腺功能减退有关。通过降低的基础血T4水平、对促甲状腺激素（TSH）试验的反应降低、催乳素和TSH值升高以及超声和闪烁扫描检查，临床诊断得到证实。左甲状腺素治疗导致临床症状改善（尤其是溢乳症状），催乳素、甲状腺素、TSH、甘油三酯和血浆总胆固醇水平恢复正常。
