Hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's Syndrome) in Dogs

Occasionally, a dog might have a diagnosis of iatrogenic Cushing's disease. This is not an adrenal disorder, but rather it is caused by the administration of steroids (given to treat other diseases) to a dog. Long-term administration of steroids can cause a dog to exhibit all the classic signs of Cushing's disease. In this case, the excessive steroids are not being produced in the body, they are being provided as a form of medication to your pet.
