Well, Patti, sadly that is what it is. I just got the news today. We will be taking him in with Yorkie Haven and begin treatment as soon as the vet makes a recommendation.

I have been hearing some positive things about the treatment. I am hopeful he will do well once we start. He does not have any symptoms really other than the hair loss and some increased thirst.

I must say I am lacking in knowledge about treatment for Cushings. I know what it is....just have never had a pup with it.
