We were not given any information about Cushing's Disease in her blood panel, although I had never heard about this disease before so I didn't ask. I just went to a few sites through google and all I would say is the unusual weight gain matches. Should she have been fasting before that panel? At the time, she was on what we thought was a "healthy" food come to find out was terribly unhealthy, so I feel that could have altered her results. What I didn't mention earlier also is that we rescued a Bichon in May thinking that she could have a friend to play with to keep her more active. And Abby (Bichon) sure does, but there has not been a decrease in her weight. Also Lana was terrified of walks. We would get out of our driveway and down one house and Lana would flip around and plant her feet and full force pull us back. Of course we gave in for so long because the recovery after was so terrible. She would shake and shake, tail between her legs, pant...etc. Now with Abby, we insist to walk and she is getting much better. So: less food, much more exercise, no change in weight.
