One of my chi's had cushings.....prior he was fat and my vet recommeded a lighter diet......so I put him on a senior light food.......and when he started losing weight I was thrilled......until one day I just looked at him and I was like OMG what the heck is going on here.....he lost all his hair symetrically from the sides of his body.......and he looked like a skeleton with a little fur......it was awful......we treated him for about a year......one day his brother got sick with congestive heart failure......and after a week of trying to get that under control we had to have him pts.....and my little chi only lasted 2 weeks after that.....I'm sure besides his illness his heart was broken to lose his brother |
