Re: Cairo, 8 year old staffordshire bull terrier just diagnosed
To be honest, the only symptoms he has of Cushings is increasing weight gain and panting and his legs going out from under him. He's not eating but he's missing my niece. He's not drinking often but when he does, he's gulping it down.
He's looking like such a little sad old man. It's breaking my heart seeing him. He can hardly walk and keeps falling. He brings me his toy to throw and I can't throw it for him as he just falls over. My niece facetimed my mum and she put the phone on the floor so he could see her. He was all alert and interested looking then realised that she wasn't actually there and his head went down and he went to his bed.
He's got a couple of sore patches on him as well. Kind of scabby looking and they're obviously itchy as he's in 7th heaven when you rub over them.

Awww, that is so sad. Poor Cairo. :( She is his person I guess. When does she come back home? Poor guy, hard on the to have the wobbly legs that won't hold them to do the things they love to do.
Re: Cairo, 8 year old staffordshire bull terrier just diagnosed
Well, she returned home on Tuesday evening. I picked her up from the airport and we again have a dog that's eating, drinking, playing, albeit still wobbly on the legs. He's absolutely delighted that she's home.
We've managed to start him back on his vetoryl as well because he's eating again.
She's not gettng to go on holiday again - that's for sure.
Re: Cairo, 8 year old staffordshire bull terrier just diagnosed
Aww poor guy. So glad she's home for him again!
Re: Cairo, 8 year old staffordshire bull terrier just diagnosed
Awww Cairo. So glad he is happier now that she is back home. They just make themselves sick when they miss their special person.
Are his legs more steady now?
