At PAWsitive Vet Care’s Endocrinology Department, we diagnose and treat conditions affecting the endocrine system, including:

  • Hyperthyroidism (most common in cats)
    Overactive thyroid function leading to an increased metabolic rate.
  • Hypothyroidism (most common in dogs)
    Reduced thyroid function resulting in a slower metabolism.
  • Cushing’s Syndrome (hyperadrenocorticism)
    Excess production of cortisol by the adrenal glands.
  • Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism)
    Insufficient production of adrenal hormones, including cortisol and aldosterone.
  • Diabetes Mellitus
    A condition involving insulin deficiency or resistance, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.
  • Hypercalcemia / Hypocalcemia
    Abnormal calcium levels in the blood, sometimes associated with parathyroid disorders.
  • Hyperparathyroidism
    Overactivity of the parathyroid glands, resulting in elevated calcium levels.
  • Adrenal Insufficiency (acute or chronic)
    Disorders affecting hormone production by the adrenal glands.
