So this weight loss - it can't be attributed to the Cushings Tx, is that right? Was she overweight prior to the Dx of Cushings?


When dogs have Cushings that's either undiagnosed or it's not yet titrated to control the cortisol -- they do lose muscle mass. You often see it most (or, notice it most) in the hind legs bc suddenly, for example, they may not be able to jump up again on something they previously could.


When is your next ACTH again...?
The vet doesn’t think that this is the Cushing meds working because of how much weight and the weight she is losing. She was over weight. She is still jumping to get in furniture and no issues with that.
