Re: Newly diagnosed and scared
Treatment for both adrenal and pituitary are the same BUT the adrenal form will be more difficult to control because the tumor makes the gland just keep dumping cortisol requiring higher and higher doses to control. The big thing is that IF the dog is a candidate the Cushing's can be "cured" with the adrenal form via an adrenalectomy. It is a risky surgery for many cush pups but also offers the only possibility of a cure.
