Episode 20 - Endocrinopathies II - Hyperadrenocorticism, 'the stuff you never really understood about cushings'

What would you do? Tell us [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2563598/fan_mail/new] Episode 20 – Endocrinopathies II: Hyperadrenocorticism The stuff you never really understood about Cushing's. We've all learned that dogs with Cushing's drink more, wee more, eat everything in sight, and somehow still end up with a pot belly... but have you ever stopped to think about why? In this episode, we're diving into all things hyperadrenocorticism and tackling the bits that often get glossed over. We chat through the physiology behind the disease, why these dogs present the way they do, how to make sense of the diagnostic work-up, and what treatment actually looks like in practice. Along the way, we unravel some of the concepts that many of us memorised for exams and then quietly hoped we'd never have to explain again. Whether you're a student trying to get your head around endocrinology, a new grad facing your first Cushing's case, or a seasoned vet looking for a refresher, this episode is packed with practical discussion, clinical reasoning, and plenty of "ah, that finally makes sense" moments. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen to podcasts. 📖 Read more & explore our blog:  https://www.chattyvets.com/blog [https://www.chattyvets.com/blog] 📲 Follow us for more:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechattyvetspodcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/thechattyvetspodcast/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechattyvetspodcast [https://www.facebook.com/thechattyvetspodcast] 💬 Got thoughts on these topics?
