Cushing’s disease, also known as “hyperadrenocorticism” (HAC), is a very common problem in the canine world. It is not as common in other species like cats, goats, and pigs, but it is the most common adrenal issue in horses. The symptoms of Cushing’s disease in dogs, cats, horses and other species may vary.
What is Cushing’s Disease?
In a general context, Cushing’s disease increases the amount of the hormone that is responsible for balancing the dog’s metabolism, cortisol. Cortisol is one of the most important hormones to keep the body in balance. Even though this hormone has an essential function, at high levels, it causes hypermetabolism. Hypermetabolism causes excessive breakdown, weakening the immune system. Thanks to this weakening, the animal is susceptible to several other diseases that hinder the life of the pet.
Cushing’s disease typically affects older domestic dogs. Poodles, Dachshunds, Terriers, and Boxers are all breeds prone to the condition. Older horses are also prone to the condition. It does not have a more incidence in certain sex in hoses, however, ponies are more prone to this condition.
Main Causes of Cushing’s Disease
The abnormal production of corticosteroids characterizes Cushing’s disease. According to veterinarians, a common cause is tumors in the pituitary and/or adrenal glands in dogs and horses.
Another cause could be iatrogenic, which is more than the non-indicated administration of medications, such as glucocorticoids. In horses, this condition is called pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). Although it is not common in cats, the cause is often long-term administration of high doses of cortisol-like medications. It is usually not easy to control, but successful treatment is possible.
It is necessary to point out that, in the case of tumors, even if they cause imbalances in hormones, they are not predominantly malignant. The biggest problem is that when this occurs in the pituitary, they compress the pet’s nerve tissue, causing other anomalies.
Main Symptoms of Cushing’s Disease in Dogs, Cats, and Horses
The easiest way to identify Cushing’s disease in dogs is through regular check-ups. This is because, even if pets have several symptoms, they can be easily confused with signs of aging. Let’s compare the symptoms of Cushing’s disease in dogs, cats, and horses.
Symptoms of Cushing’s can be easily confused with signs of aging.
Main symptoms in dogs:
Increased hunger and thirst
Increased urination (polyuria)
Enlargement of the abdomen (a pot-bellied appearance)
Weight gain, as the disease can lead to canine obesity
Muscle weakness
Dull, oily coat
Hair loss
Darker skin
Skin wounds
It is important to note that symptoms such as fever or cough are not so common. But, it is always necessary to keep an eye out, especially if your pet is a predisposed breed.
Main symptoms in horses:
Failure to fully shed the winter coat
Long and/or curly coat
Chronic infections
Laminitis or multiple laminitis episodes
Hoof abscess or recurrent hoof abscess
Excessive or inappropriate sweating
Increased water intake and urination
Lethargy
Weight loss
Accumulation of fat in abnormal areas
Loss of muscle mass (especially over the back and hind quarters)
“Pot-bellied” appearance
Infertility or lack of normal estrus cycles in a mare
Abnormal mammary gland development
Suspensory ligament degeneration
Recurrent corneal (eye) ulcers
Main symptoms in cats:
Excessive drinking (polydipsia) and excessive urination (polyuria)
Increased appetite
Enlargement of the abdomen (a pot-bellied appearance)
Lethargy
Muscle wasting and weakness
Poor coat condition
Hair loss
Curling of the ear tips
Thin and fragile skin
How Cushing’s Disease is Diagnosed
Ideally, the pet parent takes the pet to a veterinary hospital as soon as they notice symptoms. Veterinarians use several tests to diagnose an animal with Cushing’s disease. This includes stimulation (such as ACTH), dexamethasone suppression test and concentrated dosage of ACTG, and, of course, cortisol tests that are more specific to confirm the disease.
If the cause of a pet’s Cushing’s is an adrenal or pituitary mass, there is no exact way to prevent Cushing’s disease. The only form of prevention is the control of glucocorticoid medication.
Treatment
Treatment for Cushing’s will depend on the cause. If a tumor is a detected cause, your vet may perform surgery along with chemotherapy. To treat the other disease and organs affected by the disease, the veterinarian will also recommend medication. These medications must be administered for the entire life of the animal.
An early diagnosis can prevent other organs from becoming compromised, maintaining your friend’s quality of life. That’s why it is important to keep your pet’s exams and check-ups up to date. This exam helps point out the need for other, more specific, exams.
Natural Support For Animals With Cushing’s
We formulated our supplement, Supraglan, specifically to help balance the adrenal hormones. We suggest using Supraglan when your pet has a Cushing’s diagnosis from a veterinarian. However, Supraglan is not a replacement for medications prescribed by your vet. But, it is extra support to keep your furbaby healthy and happy.
As a result of the excess hormones, liver function can also be affected. We recommend using Milk Thistle alongside Supraglan to promote liver health and encourage the natural regeneration of liver cells. We have both of these supplements are in our Cushing’s Disease Essentials Kit. All of our supplements are also safe for long-term use and it is suitable for many species.
