| Could that be white hair coming in? Chachi lost hair on his back. The hair on his back was silver when the hair came back in it was black

| Just now coming across this thread. I did get your p.m. and respond. The bumps are what they call calcified skin bumps and are a symptom of cushing's disease. My vet too thought hypothyroid at first, but I had already done a lot of research and had decided on my own it was cushings so we began testing there and unfortunately I was right. |

| cushings My dad's poodle has Cushings and is being treated with meds., I don't think there is a cure but they can treat the symptoms. Do a google search, you should find quite a bit of information. Best of luck with your baby. Carol
