I found out last night that my 5 year old Lab Winnie might have Cushings Disease. I had noticed that for a while now, she had been drinking ALOT of water, she would drink a large bowl in one sitting if I let her. She also had seemed kinda stiff latley, so I decided to bring her in for some blood work and a urinalaysis, after the first testing he wanted to wait two weeks to re test her to make sure the test results were consistant. Last night he called me and left a message that he thinks she might have Cushings, and he wants me to bring her in for a 3 hour test, but he wants to talk to me before hand. Im waiting for his call back now.
Anyone experience this before? I read an article last night that kinda worried me. It said its treatable/managable but not curable, and typically once a dog is diagnosed, it usually lives for about 2 years, is this true??
If anyone has an experiance, information, or advice on this please let me know.
Winnie was the first dog I ever got, she is so young, and Im feeling sad.
