Zusammenfassung:	A 2-year-old intact miniature pinscher bitch that had been on a bones and raw foods diet since birth showed no signs of estrus despite a 40-day course of cabergoline. Elevated levels of thyroxine were detected in the serum (51 nmol/L) and in the juice of the meat (183 nmol/L) fed to the dog.
