For sure, if the surgical option is chosen to treat hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease), an overly aggressive thyroid ablation will lead to accidentally removing too many of the (usually) six parathyroid glands embedded within the thyroid tissue. Am currently researching the role of the pituitary feedback loop in generating hypocalcemia in the untreated hyperthyroid state (other than the incredibly rare event of a TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma).

How calcium supplements useful in veterinary?
Calcium supplements are useful primarily to treat hypocalcemia. This is a nutritional issue that typically arises around pregnancy. In dogs, pregnancy hypocalcemia tends to be pre-parturient (before birth) and causes a tonic paralysis (rigid paralysis). In dairy cattle, hypocalcemia tends to be post-paturient (after birth) and causes a flaccid paralysis (floppy or loose paralysis). In both cases, careful administration of intravenous calcium can reverse the paralysis in a matter of hours.
