Maya my Pom may have Cushings Disease I took Maya to thew dermatology specialist today and she thinks she has Cushing's Disease. She has been treated for Thyroid disease but her hair loss and skin problems are getting worse. She has to have an 8 hour test on Monday. If anyone has experience with this I would appreciate anything you can tell me about how the treatment went. It sounds like the medicine can have alot of side effects. Please keep her in your prayers. Monday is also her 10th Birthday. Thanks |
I am sorry to hear about this! I will definately have Maya and you in my prayers on Monday! Poor birthday girl! |

Patti, I think the test is called a LDDST. When my Bichon went sick a year ago, initially they thought cushings, he was tested, but it was not conclusive.and it turned out he has diabetes only. Some of the symtoms are similar, but there is a lot more to it. I was on a forum that has lots of helpful people and all are owners of Cushings dogs. A lot of nice people over there with plenty of experience with their Cushings dogs and how they have managed it through medication. There is a plethora of info there, it can be really helpful for you, lots of info on Veteroyl and Lysodren (meds) here is the link: http://www.caninecushings.net/forums/ or a direct link to some of the technical info on treatment, diagnosis etc of Cushings : http://www.caninecushings.net/forums...isplay.php?f=8 Sending prayers your way for you and Maya.:hands: |

Maya is in all our prayers. Hope she'll get well soon. My babies and I will pray for her. |
What symptons was Maya experiencing that made you decide to take her to the vet? I read the article on symptoms, but was wondering what Maya's were that alerted you. Thanks |
Never mind. I just went back & read your thread on her skin condition. Piper has been having a skin condition also. She goes in next week. |
Maya's in my prayers Patti. Please keep us updated. |
Oh No! You are both in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing you the best! Please keep us posted! |
Oh Patti, I am so sorry to hear that your baby may have Cushing's...Prayers for you and Maya! |
