Mikki is showing so many signs of Cushings but he is only 4 years old. He has the excessive drinking and peeing, always hungry, calcium bump on his back, potbelly and I've noticed a tiny bit of his hair coming out when I pet him. Are these symptom also associated with diabetes or pancreatitus? Or, what is something else that has the same symptoms and also, can a 4 year old dog get cushings?
Any and all advice much appreciated.

Excessive urination and drinking, hunger are all signs of diabetes among other things, but truthfully, I wouldn't try to second guess the vets at this point. Mikki's got a lot going on and your vet will have to put his symptoms and test results together.
Try to just concentrate on getting him over the pancreatitis at this point. I know that's easier said than done!
