Thank you for your quick response and merging of threads ;)

I think I am, like we all are, are just trying to make sense of things and looking for answers when things are not clearcut. I am happy...

Hello there

I would like to ask the advice and opinions of the forum members.

I have a just turned six Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross; who became ill when he was aged 4, and diagnosed with a...

I am sorry to hear that you will not be posting again and hope you at least get to see this message; I was glad to have found this forum and your post; with a dog that vets don't think has cushings...

I hope we are not 'confusing' you with all our questions and experiences - it must be difficult.

Can you talk to the vets who will be doing the operation rather than your regular vets; or is that...

What are the main 'concerns' post operation? Also I assume that the dog would need to be on permanent meds?

Tekno isn't the same since his diagnosis and radiotherapy; again not worse but...

I think I would have definately done the same if I had had the option - wishing you both all the best.....

He became very quiet and withdrawn and used to sit and stare into space loads and became disinterested in life; he wouldn't climb the stairs any more, or play with my other dogs. He would sit and...

I was advised approximately a year and 15 months would be excellent...

he is 10 months in ... that year thing is getting scarily closer

They said it is not a cure and in most cases it comes...

Just to add my Staffie boy had Radiotherapy last christmas and is doing fine. He is a bit odd; but he was probably before he had some brain lesions before he got diagnosed with is macroadenoma (his...

He does have an insatiable appetite and will run off to scavenge but none of the other...

He went onto steriods beforehand, we didn't knwo what was wrong with him he had all the behaviour changes but on a thursday he went downhill, crying not settling, getting stuck in the spare room...

Just a quick reply but I know from when thevets showed us the MRI they said was 1.5 cm . He went onto steroids before radiotherapy which can shrink it he was like a newdog overnight was amazing.

I echo this; as someone with a dog who has a macroadenoma who is currently doing OK after radiotherapy I did so much reading online, but there was alot of difference in things like life expectancy...

Hello there

My 5 year old staffie x was diagnsed with a macroadenoma in December last year. He did not have any signs of cushings and the 3 vets he is under the care of now (normal vets, spinal...

I have read on a few posts about leg shaking or trembling. Tekno does this alot but always thought it was nerve damage

Many thanks for the change to title; sure it would have been OK but I am in england where the Pitbull is banned - I think they are lovely dogs but you never know over here.

Thank you for all the...

Hello everyone

I thought I would join after lurking for a bit even though my dog may not have cushings...

Tekno is a 5 year old Staffie x rescue. He isn't in the best shape in some ways.. ...
