Abstract
This chapter discusses how dermatological changes, such as hair loss and skin coat changes, can be the first signs of endocrinopathies reported by owners. The chapter highlights the importance of recognizing these clinical signs and conducting appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause. It provides insights into specific endocrine diseases that can affect the skin, including hypercortisolism, hypothyroidism, hyperoestrogenism, hyperandrogenism and alopecia X. The chapter also discusses the methodical clinical and diagnostic approach essential for the successful management of these cases.
