The detail information of Cushing's disease (hyperadrenocorticism)
Basic Information

Another Name: hyperadrenocorticism

Disease Description: A disease characterized by an excess secretion of cortisosteroids from the adrenal glands.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: The condition mostly affects middle-aged and older dogs, and the warning signs may be harder to spot in the beginning.You might notice your dog:Is thirstier than usual;Seems hungrier;Pees more often; housebroken dogs may have indoor accidents.;Loses hair or it seems slow to grow;Gets a pot belly;Has thinning skin;Seems very tired and inactive;Pants a lot;Gets skin infections

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: There’s no method that’s 100% accurate for diagnosing Cushing's. So the vet will do a few tests to see what may be causing your pet's symptoms and to rule out other health problems.Your vet will start by testing your dog’s blood and his pee. These exams can detect diluted urine, urinary tract infections, or problems with a protein mostly found in the liver and bones called alkaline phosphatase. All of these are common in animals with Cushing’s. If the results show signs of the condition, your vet will follow up with hormone screening tests, such as:ACTH stimulation test ;Low dose dexamethasone suppression (LDDS) test .If it seems like your pup could have Cushing’s, your vet might want to do an ultrasound scan of his belly. This imaging test will help her see if there’s a tumor on the adrenal glands. That could affect the kind of treatment he needs.

Treat Method: If Cushing’s syndrome comes from a tumor on your pet’s adrenal glands, the vet might be able to remove it with surgery, which will cure him of the problem.Usually, a dog can live an active, normal life with medication to treat the condition, though he’ll need it for the rest of his life. Drugs are best for dogs with Cushing’s syndrome caused by the pituitary gland or for those with a tumor on their adrenal gland that can't be removed with surgery.
