my dog periodically pees in the house, though so far he only does this if i am away from home for a few hours. (is that cushings or separation anxiety?) his hair is thinning. no scratching or itchy skin yet. so far he drinks about 4 ounces of water within a 5 hour period.
i have read real horror stories about mitotane. what about anypril? im nervous about beginning med therapy because i dont want him to get worse symptoms. any ideas for me? |
here is some info on cushings and wylie's mom is dealing with this so she should be able to help you
loss of hair on back is a sign of cushings and drinking alot of water and peeing alot is a sign as well and pot belly is another sign
was your dog ever on steroids?
