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.
In a normal dog, the dexamethasone should suppress cortisol levels in the blood stream. In Cushing's disease this effect does not occur. Once the disease is diagnosed, it is possible to differentiate between the adrenal tumors and pituitary gland tumors using a second test, a high dose dexamethasone suppression test. Most dogs with pituitary tumors will have cortisol suppression on this test.
