Yup...and even though they don't mention it...I wonder about Atypical Cushings as well.

Cushings is thought to be genetic (and is now common to yorkies, btw ) - but what is the trigger? Atypical Cushings has to do w/ the intermediate sex steroids, so one can't help but wonder if somehow, neutering and the hormone alteration triggers an imbalance in the entire system that can later unlock the genetic vulnerability that was sitting there all along in the genetic code....
