Hi, My name is Kim and yesterday I found out that my dog, Newman has cushings disease. I was devastated yesterday but the more I learn the better I am feeling. First things first, I will not be treating him via the vet because I can't afford it first of all and second the treatment sounds about as bad as the disease. Secondly, I will be treating him with holistic methods. The first thing that I will change will be his diet. I have to do some more research on that but that will be the first change for him. He is worth all the work. He is my sweet sweet Boston Terrier who I love deeply. He is currently 11 years old so not a young dog but I want to have him as long as I can.
