Hypothyroidism
This is a condition that is not unusual in dogs and has been noted in some Lagotti.
Typically an affected dog will be lethargic, possibly obese and its behaviour/mood can be changeable. Dogs with this disease tend to have poor coats and in a Lagotto this can sometimes present itself as itchiness, scratching excessively, bald patches or thinning hair. This condition is easily diagnosed with a blood test and can be controlled with daily treatment.
