Diagnosing Canine Cushing's Made Easier
The diagnosis of canine hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's syndrome) will become easier with the publication of new information on the use of diagnostic imaging as an aid.
Canine hyperadrenocorticism can be a a challenging disease to diagnose as many dogs do not show all of the classic clinical signs, while others show signs similar to those associated with other disorders.
Imaging is a useful adjunct to the investigation of the hyperadrenocorticoid patient, with information on diagnostic imaging forms part of a CPD module available online.
Andrew Parry, a vet from Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service, who provided the majority of diagnostic imaging content, says: "The material has been prepared with the busy general practitioner in mind. There are lots of helpful tips on the approach to the hyperadrenocorticoid patient along with numerous informative diagnostic images to illustrate them."
