Yep, he'll hopefully be tested tomorrow for Cushing's. Hypothyroid is underactive. Oddly, he has not gain/lost weight -- but I've noticed a "redistribution" of wt. - meaning he has felt more "boney" in the last few months -- which makes me think Cushings even though he doesn't have the pot-belly. I think bc I don't free-feed, the weight issue may be less obvious in him.
His old vet said "there is nothing we can give a 3lb dog for allergies - and absolutely not Atopica bc he is 3 lbs" -- which is just crap! I know you can compound almost anything or chop a med or whatever. And sure enough, the Derm. said there were like 3 different ways to give Marcel Atopica and that it was a great med for him to try! Can you believe that? 
Thanks for the positive words -- I really am so glad I listened to my gut and made that appt. for Wy - imagine if I hadn't made it!  |
Well, I hope you tell your "old" vet that. Maybe he would be receptive to learning something?
