Canine hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder with varied clinical signs. Accurate and timely measurement of total thyroxine (T4) is critical for diagnosis and effective management. The Tashikin Canine Thyroid Hormone T4 Test Kit offers veterinarians a reliable, quantitative Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) solution to precisely assess thyroid function, enabling confident clinical decisions and improved patient outcomes. This test is essential for screening, confirming diagnoses, and monitoring treatment efficacy in dogs suspected of thyroid dysfunction.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Screen for Hypothyroidism
Identify dogs presenting with clinical signs suggestive of thyroid dysfunction, such as lethargy, weight gain, or dermatological issues.
Confirm Diagnosis
Utilize quantitative T4 results to confirm suspected cases of hypothyroidism and differentiate from non-thyroidal illness.
Monitor Treatment Efficacy
Regularly assess T4 levels in treated patients to ensure optimal therapeutic dosing and patient response.
