Treatment of canine hyperadrenocorticism

THE methods used to diagnose hyperadrenocorticism and distinguish the two forms of disease – pituitary-dependent versus adrenal-dependent – were described in the last issue of In Practice (September 2007, volume 29, pp 446-454). This article focuses on the treatment of the condition. Before treating any dog with hyperadrenocorticism, it is worthwhile having a detailed discussion with the owner about the costs, benefits and potential complications of the available therapies.
