Cushing's disease is the eponymous name for hyperadrenocorticolism, an endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands produce too much cortisol. This causes numerous symptoms in dogs, including weight gain, reduced immune function, stretching of the skin and increased appetite and thirst. It can be caused by either a functional tumor in the adrenal gland or by a functional tumor in the pituitary gland. Treatment revolves around destroying just enough of the adrenal glands to regulate the amount of cortisol produced.
