Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

No, this is not true.
Cushing syndrome in pets can not cause any disease in their owners.
So I don't think yours and your husband's illnesses are due to your pet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
