Hyperthyroidism is confirmed through blood work measuring the T4 (thyroxine) hormone levels. Diagnostic indicators include a ravenous appetite paired with weight loss, increased thirst, frequent urination, and restlessness. A veterinarian must conduct a physical palpation of the neck to check for an enlarged thyroid gland.
