Key Clinical Message Thyroid storm is a rare, life‐threatening endocrine emergency that may occur in dogs. With rapid identification and early aggressive therapy, long‐term survival is possible. Abstract The aim of this paper was to describe the successful emergency management and long‐term survival of a dog with probable thyroid storm. We present proposed guidelines for the characterization of thyroid storm in dogs, and treatment considerations as utilized for this patient. A 6‐year‐old female spayed German Shepherd Dog was presented to a multispecialty center for radiation planning and treatment of a previously diagnosed nonresectable functional thyroid carcinoma. Recovering from anesthesia, the patient developed clinical features that would qualify as thyroid storm using human metrics. The patient improved with aggressive treatment of thyroid storm, extrapolating from human and feline recommendations. This is the first known report of long‐term survival in a canine with suspected thyroid storm. The crisis was effectively identified and emergently treated.

“…This seems unlikely as thyroxine is not destroyed by cooking and outbreaks of thyrotoxicosis in humans were caused by the consumption of fried ground beef (Hedberg et al, 1987). Possible causes of collapse, as reported in one of the dogs include cardiovascular manifestations of hyperthyroidism (Fine et al, 2010) and thyrotoxic hypokalemic paralysis (Kung, 2006).…”

Two female spayed dogs belonging to the same owner were admitted for further examinations because of clinical signs and laboratory values compatible with hyperthyroidism. Sonography of the ventral aspect of the neck revealed small thyroid glands in both dogs. The hypothesis that the dogs suffered from alimentary hyperthyroidism caused by feeding head meat containing thyroid gland tissue was confirmed by consultation of the slaughtering plant, determination of iodine concentrations in deep-frozen samples and hormone measurements in 5 other dogs receiving head meat from the same supplier. After changing the diet, thyroxine concentrations declined and clinical signs were no longer observed.
