What Cause The Illness Of Cushing?
There are two types of disorders of the suprarenal gland, the first one and the most common one is that the glands are excessive assets (the illness of Cushing), and the second is when the gland is under assets (the illness of Addison).
These small glands are situated in the forward edge of each kidney and its work is to produce a product chemical call glucocorticoide, but this chemical product cannot be produced without first obtain the message of another gland in the called brain a pituitary gland. The gland (gland pituitary in the brain) should tell the suprarenal glands exactly to how much of the chemical product glucocorticoide to produce, but in the circumstances of the illness of Cushing goes something badly along this process that does the glands to do too much of this chemical product and that disturbs thus the equilibrium of the body of the dogs.
The production of too much of this chemical product due to two things, or there is a problem in the gland inside the brain (pituitary) and is sending also many signs to the suprarenal one, or the suprarenal gland is doing itself too much of this chemical product in a moment in which a message is sent.
In most cases the cause is a pituitary gland that the overproduces by any evident reason with a possibility of a tumor, and in the case of the suprarenal gland, tumors are the most common of causes, if becomes a tumor in the suprarenal gland then will become a size larger and to produce thus more too much of the chemical product each time is asked for Doing so. Equal implies for the pituitary gland in the brain, if obtains also a tumor and increases in size, the quantity of sent messages will enlarge also giving for result the same consequences that the abovementioned problem.
what its veterinary one can say or does it
After an examinación fast giving for result results of the abovementioned symptoms that the veterinary one will desire probably to take future analysis of blood and a test of the stimulus of the HORMONES ADRENOCORTICOTRÓFICAS for the illness of Cushing.
This then it will be followed normally by more future tests specialized once the illness of Cushing have themselves confirmed to narrow below the area that is causing the problem, this test be called a test of the suppression of the dexamethasone and tell veterinary if the problematic areas are the suprarenal gland or the pituitary gland.
The process then is equal wherever that be the problematic areas, that is to reduce the size of the suprarenal gland because the operation and to use any thing that affects the brain as you can suspect is a more dangerous task and celebrates a higher risk. There are two options that the veterinary one can desire to take, the first one should remove surgical a piece of the gland that is utilized only if a tumor is the problem, or with a called drug the vetoryl that comes in the shape of the tablet and is given often to the dog daily for the remainder of its lives for contract the down the gland to the correct size and for help to maintain The good health of the patients.
The disadvantages of this drug are that can be costly and needs to be given once to the day but is a lot more fast than other available drugs and has little or nothing of secondary effects to its dog.
