it did give me a lot of knowledge what to watch for and different options. i think the cost of an ultra sound is a good idea giving an idea if it is something else. thanks.

We had two male dogs die from Cushing’s. They were medium size - about 21 - 25 pounds. Finnegan was a 7 yr old German Spitz when he passed. Flanagan was a 9 yr old American Eskimo. Flanagan came to live with us when Finnegan was first diagnosed. He managed to keep Finnegan active for a time. They were such good buddies. We now have a 6 lb., 8 yr old Maltese/Pomeranian mix. He’s on special weight control, diabetes control food. We watch for excessive thirst, difficulty urinating, hair loss and bloating. None of our larger dogs, 30 - 35 lbs. had Cushing’s.

read a whole lot from a link and sitting here pondering the info

Blood test did not confirm.

He died 3 mos. later...we think it was brain cancer.

😢😢

potbelly, enlarged liver, thirst/lack of control peeing which he never had issue. but not a definite diagnosis and wonder if something else. going to get a ultra sound, vet says that is a good predictor and could show other issues. but i like the vet cause honest about effectiveness of drugs and consideration of cost

At different "price points". We were still in diagnosis phase. His symtoms evolved. We never got a diagnosis. It was a 3 mo. spiral. He was only 8. So painful..good dog. 😢

After a few months we brought home a new rescue..it helps...

getting this rescue trained.

He's 2 yo, 70 lbs., Border Collie/Lab mix, UN-NEUTERED!

The Humane Society lost their vet so I got him before he was neutered. It's getting done tomorrow.

He's a sweetheart. Testosterone is POISON!

got a rescue and the most loving dog i have seen though horrible skittish especially for a big dog, all legs with lots of hound. not sure her mix cause she is a tall hound, i thought they were shorter. i am talking only rescue as in a period of time for a safe place.

I lost a dog to Cushing's. She lived with it for about 2 years, and it certainly wasn't "beginning" when she was diagnosed. I don't think she suffered at all, so that's the good part.

I'm sorry about the diagnosis.

I hope your pup has good times and happiness still to come.
