Cats commonly develop thyroid disease but little is known about the long-term biological variability of serum thyroid hormone and thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone; TSH) concentrations. We aimed to determine the long-term biological variation of thyroid hormones and TSH in clinically healthy...
