Over 2000 Posts Sylvia3 Posted May 1, 2008 Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I saw my vet just before I left for surgery and she said that Cushing's is fairly common in dogs and horses but very rare in cats. I keep hearing about these drugs coming out to treat Cushing's but can't seem to find out anything about them, like how do they treat Cushing's? Do they block ACTH or supress the adrenals and do they destroy the liver like the other known drugs? I guess we will know more next year. Again, grateful for anyone working on anything to do with this awful disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted May 1, 2008 Author Chief Cushie Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ferrets get Cushing's also. I believe that they give dogs ketokonozole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
