usually you see hairloss though with these dogs - have you seen that?
Also they have pot bellies due to cortisol production and have no allergy issues as their bodies are producing more cortisol. They have increased water consumption.
Many of the symptoms are what you have to watch out for when you have a dog on steroids as they have similar side effects from steroids as they do with a cushings dog.
Also they have brown spots called cumidomes on the skin
when dd was on prednisone she had all of the above and why we had to put her on prednisolone as she had too many side effects like a cushings dog and she does not have the same on prednisolone.
Ann knows alot about cushings so pm her and she can help more with this and if ALP was an issue with her dog that has cushings. | Daisy has brown spots on her belly. when I get her home I am taking a picture of her belly and posting it.
