“…12 When a patient presents with multiple biochemical and/or physical abnormalities, thorough assessment is critical to ensure no opportunity to optimise patient health is missed, as both congenital and acquired conditions can occur concurrently. Clinicians should bear in mind that dogs diagnosed with one congenital disease are commonly diagnosed with concurrent congenital illnesses, [13][14][15] and exploration of these should be considered if there are appropriate clinicopathologic abnormalities. We herein present a dog diagnosed with suspected congenital renal dysplasia and juvenile-acquired hypothyroidism.…”

A 1‐year 3‐month‐old, female, neutered crossbreed dog presented for investigation of polyuria, polydipsia and azotaemia. Subsequent biochemistry, endocrine testing and abdominal ultrasound identified hypercholesterolaemia, thyroglobulin autoantibody‐positive hypothyroidism, and IRIS stage II non‐hypertensive, non‐proteinuric suspected renal dysplasia, with a concurrent Escherichia coli urinary tract infection. The patient responded well clinically to levothyroxine treatment, with improvement in hypercholesterolaemia, azotaemia and demeanour at home. At follow‐up biochemistry assessment, hyperphosphataemia and hypercalcaemia (total and ionised) were documented, presumed to be driven by renal insufficiency and renal secondary hyperparathyroidism, although this aetiology was not definitively proven. Normalisation of these values was noted following renal diet implementation and addition of phosphate binders. This case highlights acquired primary hypothyroidism with evidence of thyroiditis in a juvenile dog with suspected congenital renal dysplasia.
