Canine Cushing's disease, Hyperadrenocorticism, is a disease of the endocrine system and considered a disease of middle aged and older dogs though dogs as young as two have been confirmed. The typical age of contracting the disease is around six or seven years old with a range of two to sixteen years. There is equal distribution between males and females and although all breeds are at risk, some breeds reported to be at greater risk include: poodle, Yorkshire terrier, beagle, Boston terrier, boxer, dachshund, German shepherd, golden retriever, Labrador retriever, Scottish terrier and terriers in general. This is one of the most complex canine diseases to correctly diagnose with a wide range of symptoms which are shared with many other canine conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease to name a few. It is not uncommon for the dog owner to think the dog is simply aging instead of sick. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and powerful pharmaceuticals or a combination of these. Many dogs with Cushing’s can and do live out their normal lifespan with proper diagnosis and treatment.
The Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing’s Fund, a 501c.3 nonprofit charity, was born out of a depth of love and grief that defies language. It is an endeavor in honor of our babies, Tipper Stalma and Squirt Richards, both who suffered with Canine Cushings, as well as all cush babies around the world – past, present, and future. The mission of the Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing’s Fund, Inc. is to financially aid families who are struggling to pay their dog’s medical costs associated with the diagnosis and treatment of this complex disease. Every penny raised will go to those families. All expenses for the fund come out of our own pockets, never out of donations.
