  • Title: Myopathy associated with hyperadrenocorticism in the dog.
    Author: Greene CE, Lorenz MD, Munnell JF, Prasse KW, White NA, Bowen JM.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1979 Jun 15; 174(12):1310-5. PubMed ID: 511731.
    Abstract:
    Naturally occurring or iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism was associated with myopathy in six dogs. One dog had muscle weakness and muscle atrophy but normal electromyographic findings. Five dogs had muscle stiffness, proximal appendicular muscle enlargement, and myotonic discharges on electromyography. Histologic, electron microscopic, and histochemical findings in the musculature of dogs that were examined were characteristic of noninflammatory degenerative myopathy. Clinical signs of the myopathy improved to varying degrees in five dogs that were treated for the hyperadrenocorticism.
