In dogs, thyroid disease is almost always hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs in cats but is not typically seen in dogs. Unfortunately, an overactive thyroid in a dog is usually a sign of thyroid carcinoma, a cancerous thyroid tumor.
Signs of CNM include: generalized loss of muscle tone and control, exercise intolerance and an awkward gait. Dogs with one normal copy and one mutant copy of the gene do not display signs. Breeding two carriers is predicted to produce 25% affected offspring and 50% carriers of the disease.
