About Cushing's Disease
Cushing's Disease (hyperadrenocorticism) is a condition that results from the chronic overproduction of glucocorticoid in the body. In the normal dog, the pituitary gland produces a hormone called ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal gland to produce the steroid hormone glucocorticoid necessary for the function of many systems in the body. If something goes wrong in the pituitary gland or adrenal gland and too much glucocorticoid is produced, then Cushing's Disease develops. This is a very complicated disease with a wide range of symptoms and causes.

Symptoms include:
* Increased water consumption and urination
* Increased appetite
Abdominal enlargement
Hair loss & thin skin
Cushing's Disease is a condition that affects middle age to older dogs.

The affected animal has a characteristic presentation including increased water consumption and resulting increased urination, increased appetite, hair loss, and a potbellied appearance. There are several diagnostic tests available, as well as several treatments.
