Conditions like Cushing's and Addison's disease can cause a wide range of symptoms that are easy to mistake for normal aging or a minor illness.
At Rose Veterinary, we'll help you get to the bottom of what's going on and build a treatment plan from there. To learn more or schedule a diagnostic evaluation, call us today at (602) 341-5214.
Metabolic conditions like Cushing's disease (hyperadrenocorticism) and Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism) affect how your pet's body produces and regulates hormones. These conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, from increased thirst and urination to hair loss, lethargy, or gastrointestinal upset, and are diagnosed and managed by Dr. McCartney at Rose Veterinary.
Diagnosis typically involves blood work and specialized hormone testing to confirm Cushing's, Addison's, or another metabolic disorder. Once we've identified the condition, we'll start your pet on the appropriate medication and schedule regular rechecks to monitor their bloodwork and adjust treatment as needed.
Left untreated, both Cushing's and Addison's disease can lead to serious, even life-threatening complications. With proper diagnosis and ongoing management, however, most pets go on to live comfortable, stable lives.
If your pet is showing signs of a metabolic condition, contact Rose Veterinary at (602) 341-5214 to schedule a diagnostic evaluation.
