Hypothyroidism
This is a condition that is not unusual in dogs but has been noted in some Lagotto.
Typically an affected dog will be lethargic, obese and its behaviour/mood is changeable. Dogs with this disease tend to have poor coats and in Lagotto this sometimes presents as itching and bald patches or thinning hair. This condition is easily diagnosed with a blood test and controlled with a daily dose of Soloxine.
