Zola is a beautiful dog from Sidewalk Specials. She was adopted by Pernille and Rob in 2018 after they had to say goodbye to their previous much loved dog Tilly. Zola quickly settled into the family and loved her new life in a safe and loving environment. In 2021, she suddenly seemed very tired, and she didn't want to go for walks. Pernille and Rob took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
If your dog suddenly gains weight and seems unusually tired, it might be more than just ageing—these could be signs of hypothyroidism. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones, crucial for your dog's metabolism and overall health. When the thyroid isn't working properly, it can affect almost every system in your dog's body. Hypothyroidism is especially common in medium to large breeds and rare in smaller ones.
