He was put on Metro...?.(antibiotic) for the diarrhea and it helped some. I changed his diet (making his own food), every day he gets...1/2 tsp of Kelp Based Wellness Formula (which has over 70 minerals and vitamins), I give him 3 ml ground flax seed, and pumpkin, he gets 4000 mg of Omega 3 fish oil, 5 mg of Melatonin and a 1/2 capsule of Digestive Enzymes.
After 3 months on this regime all the symptoms slowly went away, his hair grew back a bit wiry but it did grow back, and yes I said he still pee's a lot if you compare him to my Shi-itzu, but it still isn't as much as he used to! and he's gained back all his weight!
If he is still peeing a lot, then his Cushings isn't controlled, I hate to tell you that, but it's most likely true.

I do hope you understand what excess intrinsic cortisol does to a body when uncontrolled.

Hopefully you're watching his levels via the tests. Which blood tests are you using to monitor his levels and what were his last levels?
