Zusammenfassung:The thyrotropin response test is the most common test for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Here we report serious adverse effects in two dogs after intravenous administration of bovine TSH. The clinical signs were consistent with an anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reaction.

Preventive measures are discussed.
