I'd say that it is possible. Dogs can get a variety of diseases just like humans even though their physiology is considerably different. Dogs can have allergies, cataracts, arthritis and even cancer.

You might want to have your vet check the dogs thyroid. My pug always seemed hot and sweaty, he bit himself as if he itched everywhere all the time. He needed daily medication but he was just fine for the next 12 years that I was blessed to have his company. Worth a shot. Good luck to you and your doggie

Most often in medical use, it stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, also known as Thyrotropin. TSH is secreted by the pituitary gland and regulates the thyroid gland function. Laboratory testing for the blood levels of TSH is often done to check for abnormal thyroid function such as hypothyroidism (lowered thyroid function) and hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid function) and may also be checked when testing female infertility problems, among other things.
