I am by no means a vet but what you said is so typical of cushings. It also affects their hind legs and really makes walking a task. They become more lethargic and bloated. There are some members here who have more experience with it than I do....our wonderful moderator Ann's (Wyliesmom) sweet boy Wylie has Cushings and she has helped me sooooo much with everything. Here is a link for more information:
