Understanding Cushing's Disease

Treating Cushing's Disease

If your dog is diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, your veterinarian will most likely prescribe Vetoryl (trilostane), the only medication approved by the FDA to treat both pituitary and adrenal dependent Cushing’s. Less commonly, vets will prescribe Lysodren (mitotane), a human medication that’s used “off-label” in dogs. Some pet owners also use supplements to help manage their dog’s Cushing’s disease. You can read more about all of these topics in the articles below.
