The thyroid is a gland in the neck that secretes two hormones; thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are vital for metabolism. Everyone has a thyroid and it does the same thing whether in a cat, dog or human. When the pituitary gland in the brain produces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), it triggers the production of T4 and T3. But things can go wrong with the thyroid.

My dog lifts his leg to pee, then poops instead. This may seem like a silly question, but it causes poop to stick to the hair on his hind legs. Yuck!
