Cushing's disease is the human syndrome of hypercortisolism; the name has been applied to hypercorisolism in veterinary medicine even though the origin of the disease is often different in animals than humans. In Cushing's disease, the adrenal glands secrete too much cortisol (and sometimes other related hormones as well), which causes a number of problems throughout the body.
There are two types of treatment - surgery to remove some or all of an adrenal gland or oral medication to suppress the adrenal gland.
