   What causes Cushing's disease in dogs?

   • In dogs, Cushing's disease occurs naturally and is either pituitary-dependent or adrenal-dependent. About 80% to 85% of Cushing's is pituitary-dependent, meaning it's triggered by a tumor on the pituitary, a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain. The pituitary makes a number of hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

   How is Cushing's disease diagnosed in dogs?

   • Veterinarians use blood tests to diagnose Cushing's and to differentiate between disease caused by the pituitary or the adrenals. They may also use an ultrasound to help detect a tumor on an adrenal gland. Cushing's disease typically occurs in middle-aged to older dogs. The disease develops slowly and the early signs are not always noticed.
