ABSTRACT
A 5-month-old intact male domestic shorthair cat presenting for routine vaccinations was diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism. His primary presenting symptom was incomplete dentition with delayed dental eruption. Congenital hypothyroidism was confirmed by baseline thyroxine (T4), free T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone testing. The cat was treated with oral thyroid hormone supplementation and 16 weeks after initiation of therapy the cat was clinically normal with age-appropriate dentition. No surgical intervention was necessary to achieve normal dental eruption.
