Retrospective Evaluation of Three Treatment Methods for Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Dogs

From the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (Rasor) and the Departments of Surgical and Radiological Sciences (Pollard) and Medicine and Epidemiology (Feldman), School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California 95616.

The medical records of 110 dogs treated for primary hyperparathyroidism were reviewed. Dogs were treated via parathyroidectomy (n=47), percutaneous ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation (n=15), or percutaneous ultrasound-guided heat ablation (n=48). Forty-five of 48 (94%) parathyroidectomies resulted in control of hypercalcemia for a median of 561 days. Thirteen of 18 (72%) ethanol ablation procedures resulted in control of hypercalcemia for a median of 540 days. Forty-four of 49 (90%) heat-ablation treatments resulted in control of hypercalcemia for a median of 581 days.
