title: [The thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) test in the dog: injection or infusion?].
abstract: The injection of 200 micrograms TRH per dog for the examination of thyroid function is superior to the long term infusion of 200 or 400 micrograms. The maximum of T3 can be measured two, and of T4 and FT4 four hours after TRH administration. FT4 reacts as the most sensitive parameter after both injection and infusion.
