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.
The majority of time, the source of the disease is a hyperactive pituitary gland, which is found at the base of the brain. Approximately 85% of Cushings in dogs is from a minute benign tumor on the pituitary gland. In the other 15% of cases, it may be caused by a tumor on one or both of the adrenal glands, which are located in front of the kidneys. Approximately 50% of these tumors are benign.
