New Cushing diagnostic

[Maria Alvarado]

Hi there, my 9 year old male beagle was just diagnosed with Cushing disease, is there anything that's natural to treat it?

Hi and welcome to you and your sweet boy! Cushing's is when a dog's body produces excessive amounts of cortisol. And if your boy does indeed have Cushing's unfortunately I don't know of any truly effective holistic/alternate substitutes to the Rx medication when one wants to lower cortisol levels significantly. Having said that, if clinical symptoms are not that bothersome to the dog or owner, some members have told us that Cushex and Adrenal Harmony Gold worked very well in controlling symptoms but only for a short time period. Now, Cushex and Adrenal Harmony Gold have no controlled clinical testing whatsoever to back up their claims (we know this because we have contacted the manufacturers and we have been told that no testing has been done).

If you'd care to share some specifics about his overall health history, his symptoms, and his actual test results, that would be great. The more we know, the better our feedback can be.

We look forward to reading more about your dog, and if you should have any questions please do not hesitate to ask them.
