It all really IS amazing! It has all fallen together so well! My Cody who I lost recently

came to me a few years ago with very little hair and multiple medical issues...maybe he and the other angels are looking out!

my heart goes out to that beautiful baby and to all who helped him.
thank you..

Oh thanks for the update..lets just hope it is not cushings and with a little medicine, good food, a good home and lots of love will heal this little boy. I know he has lots of love from all of us here.

The vet does think it is thryroid. If not, then perhaps Cushing's so yes, let us all hope for thyroid.

Here is a pic that was taken today. He is just soooo cute and sweet! She had him out with a couple of other pups today, but he did not seem very interested in them. He is a people pup!

The vet thinks the thyroid is causing both the hair loss and skin bumps?

I love this pic. Can you imagine going through what he has and still being that happy? We are definitely gonna need regular updates on Sonny!

I wish all the best for this poor little baby.

What a sweet baby. My pom had Cushing's and her hair loss was on the sides and on her back very similar to this little guys. Also she would get these big patches of black greasy looking scabs and they would just peel off and the hair would come out and the skin underneath was very raw looking. I hope it isn't Cushing's and he can get over this skin problem and live the wonderful life he deserves.

Yikes...that stuff on his back was greasy and DID come right off with a ton of hair in it.

Just now seeing this thread...hearing/ seeing things like this gets me so emotional. I'd love to come face to face with whoever abandoned this little guy.

I am hoping we will moved to a bigger house by this time next year and I would really like to become a foster. I would love to be now but we are really pushing it with the 5 ppl plus the four-legged family members we have.

Well, Patti, sadly that is what it is. I just got the news today. We will be taking him in with Yorkie Haven and begin treatment as soon as the vet makes a recommendation.

I have been hearing some positive things about the treatment. I am hopeful he will do well once we start. He does not have any symptoms really other than the hair loss and some increased thirst.

I must say I am lacking in knowledge about treatment for Cushings. I know what it is....just have never had a pup with it.

Thank goodness there is so much information out on the internet and it does reassure me that Sonny could still live a good life. Hopefully people on YT who's dog has Cushings will respond...Maybe you should start a new thread.

Well darn. I'm sorry, Linda. I was praying it was only his thyroid. I agree with Cindy on starting a thread about his Cushing's. I'm always amazed at the great ideas & knowledge people come up with on YT.

So Sonny will be staying with his current foster mom, just under YHR's care?

Yes, she is keeping him for now. She cannot keep him long term, so hopefully my numbers will decrease soon and I can take him or someone else will be able to. Who knows, we might find him a perfect forever home before that!

Well once you post him on YHR make sure you talk about how he wrapped his paws around your arm and didn't want to let go....I started crying on that one. I had one of my rescue's do that and she stayed with me...I didn't realize dogs could do that and it just melted my heart.
