Anyone have any personal experience with Cushing's disease in dogs?
One of our Boston Terrier Friendzy readers has a Bostie named Zena who was recently diagnosed with Cushing's. She would love your experience and advice on the matter! (Personally I'm only familiar with it in horses.)
Thank you!
After my dog was diagnosed, the vet gave her a few months to live. She was thirsty all the time and couldn't hold her bladder, legs lost all muscle tone and she struggled to stand, she got a huge belly. She couldn't get up off the floor and we had to put her down 2 wks later.Sorry for the bad news.
We’ve had 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with Cushing’s a few years apart. Cav #1 was diagnosed at around age 8 & lived another 2 years on Vetoryl. At the end she couldn’t walk bc she was too weak. Cav #2 was diagnosed a few weeks ago at 13. He can’t walk either and today he collapsed : (
Hi there, I'm so sorry for your experience with Cushings. My Cocker Sadie has has Cushing's for a few years. She is 13. The past couple days, she has much more weakness when getting up. She also is not eating as much. From what I have read above, this may be the end. Any advise?
