most common endocrine disease in the dog. These Disease usually occurs
in middle-aged it may slightly more often in female dogs. Any kind of Dog

Also this disease can be caused by treatment (e.g. prednisone) of many
diseases. This syndrome is known as iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Clinical
signs are similar to the spontaneously occuring disease. Hyperadrenalcorticism
has two primary origins. One is pituitary-dependent (PDH) and other one
is adrenal dependent (ADH). PDH is the most common form of Cushing's approximately

| Diagnosis and Treatment of Feline asthma |
Feline asthma has been many names, for example, allergic bronchitis, chronic
bronchitis, eosinophilic bronchial and bronchitis asthma. Usually we don't
known cause, depend on in individual cats, but most common cause is grass
and tree pollens, smoke, different kinds of sprays such as hair, flea,
deodorants. Inhaled allergens cause by sudden contraction of the smooth
muscles around the airways. Typical clinical symptoms is the continuous
cough and wheeze, increased respiratory rate.A diagnosis of Feline asthma
is chest x-rays, complete blood count and feline heartworm test. Confirm
diagnosis is to take sample cells from the lower airways (transtracheal
and bronchial wash), Chest x-rays may be sometime normal with asthma, But
others signs will be seen such as collapse of the right middle lung lobe,
and over inflation of the lungs. Feline asthma is a chronic progressive
disease. Treatment include antibiotics, bronchodilators, or corticosteroids.But
