Hi Oh I see how did you get that diagnosed that would of been really difficult I imagine, had Wylie been castrated or not? Teddy is so I doubt this will be the reason for his. So does Wylie have to have the same sort of MEDS that dogs with usual types of Cushings, Teddy is so tired, and the most worrying this is it has killed his immune system. His total white cell counts have been in the 2.5, 3.5 & 4.5 areas instead of his usual total of 8, the lowest they say is normal is 5.5 and that is the lowest, so at 2.5 he is nowhere near 5.5 even at 4.5 it is still too low, so he is often running a low grade fever, we are extra careful with him due to infection risks etc. I hope the US scan will show us if his adrenal glands are swollen or something else that is causing this level of coritisol.

Did Wylie have similar results to Teddy (NOT that I am suggesting Teddy has the same thing at all) He may well have standard type of Cushings, His US will be next week we hope or early part of week after. It depends when referral hospital can fit us in. It is 60 miles from us and I am very seriously ill myself, and usually don't go out I am almost totally housebound, I have to go though, and also I have a hospital appointment myself too 55 miles away, and on top of all my usual illnesses I now have a virus with all the stress, so I am hoping and praying I will make my appointment and more importantly his appointment.

I usually get really ill going 6 miles and back !!!!
