Cushing's disease cause dog pain. Dear Dr. Fox â¢ I have a 10-year-old sheltie who was recently diagnosed with Cushingâs disease. My vet put him on a 60 mg Vetoryl capsule daily for the adrenal glands. He growls at me when I try to put on his halter or touch his front legs, so I know his feet hurt.
A small percentage of dogs with Cushingâs disease have a tumor of one of the adrenal glands which may or may not be cancerous. This form of Cushingâs is called adrenal dependent Cushingâs and results from a direct increase in cortisol production by the adrenal gland tumor. Every year, roughly 100,000 dogs are diagnosed with Cushingâs disease in the United States. Most dogs are six years of age or older when diagnosed, but it can occur in younger dogs. The disease is rare in cats.
