Acute hyperplasia in canines is caused by progesterone treatment or endogenous progesterone produced in late estrus, which can cause excessive secretion of growth hormone.

The female dog is fully developed or has a normal estrus cycle and needs to be given hormone therapy to prevent estrus. At the beginning of the disease, the soft tissue around the head and neck swells, which may further lead to gasping, sensitive screaming, and inability to exercise. In addition, there may be an increase in the skin folds on the head, neck and limbs, thickening of the skin, and separation of teeth, resulting in an increase in the distance between teeth, especially incisors. Acromegaly can be diagnosed by detecting serum concentration.

Stop hormone therapy and perform ovarian hysterectomy to control estrus, which can achieve effective treatment of acromegaly of female dogs.
