[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation. If I recall, there are various tests they can do. Ultimately, though, they told us that the medication used to treat cushing's has serious side effects that can be worse than the disease itself. So we keep an eye on him but we haven't treated. He has lost some fur in patches and he drinks a lot of water, so we have to make sure he can get out to pee more often. But other than that we haven't noticed much change, and it's been probably 18 months since we first looked into this. Our dog is a 13-year-old 80-lb hound dog, so at this point we wouldn't do anything invasive or risky on him anyway. He lies around most of the time but he seems to be enjoying his golden years.
