You're right. Lady's case is a little different, though, because she has Iatrogenic Cushings caused by taking steroids for her arthritis. The symptoms are the same, though. Hair loss and a pot belly are the two main symptoms most people notice. Cushings can be very difficult to diagnose.

There is a ton of information here about Cushings, how to test for it and how to treat it.
