I did learn that a LOT of vets go right into the cushings probability when the dog presents with the heavy peeing/drinking or sublte hair loss. I didn't get through this whole thread (hard to read to much at once right now old age, lol) but I hope that he has had full and complete blood panels done to rule out kidney/liver and or possible diabetes. I am assuming you went through all that already.
As for his Hypothyroid I do know that getting the replacement dose correct is not an exact science and it may take awhile for that to get his thyroid back to normal.
Just want to send big hugs and well wishes for Wylie XXOO  |
Thanks, Mary Kay
. I just didn't think it would be this tough to get a definitive answer, but apparently it's not uncommon.
We did do tons of bloodwork on him w/ the Dermatologist - and we ruled out diabetes and kidney/liver. His hypothyroid appears to be primary rather than secondary. Who knows....maybe it is only that...and it will just take time for certain symptoms to abate. I sure hope it's just that. *crosses fingers*
