Canine Adrenal Support - Ideas For Helping Your Dog
Canine adrenal support is needed when the adrenal glands are not functioning properly. The glands secrete hormones which regulate the function of every major system in your dog's body.
The endocrine system works when a gland called the hypothalamus triggers production of a hormone called ACTH, which is made by the pituitary gland. The ACTH travels to the adrenal gland, which produces different hormones as instructed by the pituitary. As you can infer,mbt schuhe, a problem with any gland in the system due to a tumor or autoimmune disease (when the body attacks itself),mbt zum Verkauf, can cause problems throughout the body. Problems with the way these glands are working can interfere with the blood pressure, glucose levels and the way the digestive system functions.
Canine adrenal support is needed when the adrenal glands are either producing too much or too little hormone. There are two adrenal glands in the body. Both glands or only 1 can be the cause of the issues your dog is having. There are several causes of adrenal gland problems in dogs.
Addison's Disease
When the adrenal glands produce too little hormone a condition called Addison's Disease sets in. Another name for this condition is hypoadrenocorticism. This condition causes rapid heart beat and removes the ability of your dog's body to self regulate. If not treated your dog can go into an adrenal crisis.
Conventional treatment for Canine Addison's is hormone replacement therapy which a dog will have to take for the rest of her life.

Natural remedies can also potentially provide support to the entire endocrine system.
Cushing's Dsease
Cushing's (hyperadrenocorticism) is a result of too much of a hormone called Cortisol is being produced by the adrenal glands. It is usually caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland. If there is a tumor on the adrenal gland alone (10% to 15% of cases), then surgical removal of the gland with the tumor could help to resolve the problem. The remaining gland will pick up the work of the removed gland.
A medication called mitotane is also available to reduce the amount of cortisol produced by the adrenal glands. This is used in cases where surgery is not an option. There are side effects such as diarrhea and vomiting. There is also a medication called trilostane that may not have the side effects of mitotane.
There is also a homeopathic natural remedy available to help support dogs suffering from Cushing's disease.
