Description A 9-year-old male Labrador dog was presented to Small Animal Medicine Unit of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Orathanadu with a history of chronic skin infection for the past 6 months. Clinical examination revealed alopecia, skin thinning, calcinosis cutis and comedone with pendulous abdomen. Laboratory examination revealed increased ALP and hyperglycemia. Hepatomegaly and bilateral adrenal gland hyperplasia were noticed on ultrasonography. Based on clinical and ultrasonographic findings it was diagnosed as hyperadrenocorticism. The dog was treated with Cabergoline @ 0.07 mg/kg P.O every 3 days for 3 months. The clinical signs were gradually subsided and animal recovered uneventfully with 3 months of treatment. Cabergoline found to be an alternative treatment of choice for the management of hyperadrenocorticism in dogs.
