For more than 200 years, homeopathy has been used to provide relief for a broad array of symptoms from a number of health conditions. It uses the premise of like-treats-like to help address specific symptoms, utilizing natural ingredients to provide temporary relief from the same symptoms that at full-strength they would cause.
A holistic approach is the best way to contribute to your pet's general health, and due to the vital importance of adrenal balance, it is not surprising that natural remedies can provide support. Organ and systemic support are the cornerstones of a holistic approach, and by supporting your pet's adrenal health, the natural approach aims to facilitate well-being across a number of body systems, thereby encouraging wellness and vitality every day.
Symptoms of Cushing's Disease
Like humans, all pets are exposed to a fair amount of daily stress, which eventually taxes the system. Excited "good" stress, such as a trip to the beach or reacting to guests in the house, has the same cumulative effect on the body as "bad" stress, such as going to the vet or kennel, and can lead to a buildup of cortisol.
In a healthy pet, the pituitary gland produces adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), stimulating the adrenal glands to secrete glutocorticoid, or cortisol hormones, into the bloodstream.
Cortisol is necessary for the body's health and functioning, affecting your pet's metabolism, nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems, as well as kidneys. When the pituitary gland or adrenal gland malfunctions and excess glucocorticoid is secreted, your pet develops Cushing's disease. As a result, your pet may begin to experience increased appetite -- the most noticeable effect of long-term exposure to cortisol -- and frequently beg, become possessive of food, or get into the garbage.
You may also notice increased thirst and water consumption in your pet, leading to more frequent urination and indoor accidents. Hair loss and thinning, especially around the elbows, flank, and abdomen may also occur after extended cortisol exposure.
