Cushings Disease2007-11-25 3:00:30

Cushing's isn't the cheapest condition to treat, due to the medication and the check-ups needed. They may also be prone to developing diabetes later on. However, if your dog is otherwise healthy and has a good quality of life, then once daily medication and the occasional blood test should hopefully be enough to keep them well.

Cushing's disease, more commonly referred to as hyperadrenocorticism, is the production of too much of the adrenal hormone. It can be naturally occurring or due to over use of corticosteroids such as prednisone. Symptoms of the ailment include a dog's increased drinking and urination, increased appetite, panting, hair loss, pot-belly searance and susceptibility to skin infections. Weakening of the heart and skeletal muscles are additional symptoms.
