My pom, Maya had Cushing's. She was about 9 when symptoms first started. It took about 6 months to get her diagnosed. The vet (won't see him anymore) first tested her for Thyroid disorder when I took her in with excessive hunger and thirst. She lost hair on both sides of her body and her tail. She had these dark oily spots that I could peel off and they would be raw underneath. She scratched a lot and urinated more too. After no relief from thyroid medicine I took her to a dermatologist. They did am ACTH Stim test and an ultrasound and she was diagnosed with Cushing's. I would get her to a dermatologist or an internal medicine vet. I hope you can get her some help
