Perhaps there was some error in previous tests and it didn't show up? <br />Also, sometimes dogs drink a lot out of stress or just habit. But of course you want to rule out other possibilities first. I hope you find out the problem and Indy is in tip-top shape real soon!Peggy Frezonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087038771857532951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-63300712670955373522010-09-28T17:49:21.701-05:002010-09-28T17:49:21.701-05:00I hope Indy's okay!I hope Indy's okay!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536107333061310289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-17555777948038607402010-09-28T08:02:59.535-05:002010-09-28T08:02:59.535-05:00Hi Pat,

She was with Mommy for 14 1/2 years. The websites that RYKER gave you are would be your best bet. <br /><br />Samantha did OK with the cushings until she went into renal failure. Mommy gave her IV fluids for 8 months but as long as Samantha was happy Mommy would do anthing it took. It was extremely expensive but It was worth it to she Samantha's smile Mommy said. Samantha let her know when it was time to give up.<br /><br />We will be here for you.

We've got our share here with Mercy's nose (pics on blog), OC's arthritis, BG's gimpy leg, and now Gimli seems to be having some problems. He's losing/lost almost all of the muscle on the top of his skull. Cushings does that sometimes, as well as a couple of other things (like cancer) and none of them are good. He is only one year old.<br /><br />I, too, wondered about diabetes. I know that a lot of dogs get that, and that would cause those symptoms.ocmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573017187040669068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-81027945199207173792010-09-27T03:11:37.029-05:002010-09-27T03:11:37.029-05:00my mommish ish not full of the smarticles but we a...my mommish ish not full of the smarticles but we are crossing our paws that everyfing ish a okay<br />memeber tooting always heals the ouchies<br /><br />pibble sugars, wee wiggles and pupperbreath licks<br />the pittie packkissa-bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037076734729213117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-75070960211601035602010-09-26T22:11:21.331-05:002010-09-26T22:11:21.331-05:00I've never heard of Cushings, either, but ther...I've never heard of Cushings, either, but there are zillions of diseases both human and animal that I've never heard of!
