Klinika dla Małych Zwierząt Wąsiatycz Veterinary Endocrinologist - Poznań

Hormonal disorders can develop over a long period of time and cause symptoms that are easily mistaken for fatigue, aging, or dietary changes. If you notice that your pet is drinking more water, urinating more frequently, has reduced energy levels, experiences sudden weight gain or weight loss despite a similar diet, or develops deterioration of the skin and coat, it is worth checking whether hormones may be the underlying cause. At the Wąsiatycz Small Animal Clinic in Poznań, we care for endocrinology patients from the initial diagnosis through long-term treatment monitoring.

We recommend scheduling an endocrinology consultation if your pet develops symptoms suggesting disorders of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, or glucose metabolism, such as:

• excessive thirst and frequent urination,
• sudden weight gain or weight loss without an obvious cause,
• lethargy, drowsiness, or reduced exercise tolerance,
• hair loss, thinning coat, or recurrent skin problems,
• increased or decreased appetite, or changes in behaviour.

Early diagnosis is important because many hormonal disorders can be successfully managed - provided that treatment is appropriately selected and carefully monitored.

Our endocrinology team provides comprehensive care, from hormonal diagnostics to advanced surgery of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and pancreas.

During the consultation, we begin with a detailed medical history (symptoms, diet, body weight, medications, and concurrent diseases) and a clinical examination. We then plan the appropriate diagnostics, including blood tests, blood biochemistry, hormone testing, and, when necessary, functional tests and ultrasound examination. This allows us to assess the function of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and pancreas, and to tailor treatment to the individual patient.

We manage conditions including diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats, hypothyroidism, and Cushing's syndrome. In endocrinology, regular monitoring is essential - follow-up examinations and observation of symptoms at home allow us to safely adjust medication dosages and maintain your pet's stable health. We always explain to owners what to monitor (such as thirst, appetite, body weight, and general well-being) and when an earlier follow-up visit is recommended.

If you suspect your pet has a hormonal disorder or you have received concerning test results, contact us and schedule an endocrinology consultation in Poznań.
