Please, I implore. Check her thread creation history. There will be something else next week.

My bet is on liver spots.

What is Cushing’s syndrome?
Cushing’s syndrome is a condition in which there is an excess of cortisol (cortisone). This can be caused by drugs (e.g. prednisone, depo-medrol, dexamethasone, betamethasone) often prescribed for the treatment of many diseases; this syndrome is known as iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome. It can also be caused by an excess of the body’s own cortisol, caused by a pituitary tumor or adrenal tumor.
Iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome is caused by administration of drugs that suppress the body’s own cortisol production. Clinical signs and complications are similar to the naturally occuring disease. The dog can become dependent upon the drugs with chronic use, and abrupt withdrawal can lead to signs related to lack of cortisol, such as lethargy, depression, vomiting, and diarrhea. For these reasons, chronic steroid use is not recommended except in cases of life-threatening immune-mediated disease or chemotherapy protocols. The lowest possible dose of steroids should be used for therapy.

Pituitary dependent Cushing’s disease is caused by a functional pituitary tumor that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce excess cortisol. The tumor is usually microscopic and benign (a microadenoma). Sometimes the tumor can be large enough to cause pressure on the nerves to the eyes and the part of the brain called the hypothalamus, causing behavior changes, lack of appetite, and blindness, in addition to the other signs of Cushing’s syndrome. These tumors are known as macroadenomas. Pituitary-dependent Cushing’s disease makes up about 85% of spontaneous Cushing’s disease cases.

Adrenal tumors can be benign, known as adenomas, or malignant, known as carcinomas. They produce cortisol independent of the normal regulatory mechanisms of the body.
Adrenal-dependent Cushing’s syndrome makes up about 15% of spontaneous Cushing’s syndrome cases.
