Abstract

A 10-year-old cross breed female cat was brought with the complaint of weight gain while only the same amount of food was given. As a result of the evaluation of clinical examination, anamnesis, laboratory results and thyroid panel parameters, a rare hypothyroid disease in cats was determined. Levotroxine was used in the treatment and after 1.5 months, the parameters were within normal ranges at the control. As a result, the opinion that primary hypothyroidism in cats has gained more importance in veterinary endocrinology in recent years compared to previous years.
