ABSTRACT:
A method for the detection of Cushing's syndrome in domestic animals is provided by first injecting glucagon into an animal suspected of having Cushing's syndrome and then monitoring the animal's blood glucose levels against an appropriate control over a two hour period. A blood glucose value above about 295 mg/dl is diagnostic for Cushing's syndrome.
