Re: Undecided about treatment for Duke 10 1/2 yr. old Bichon
I'm also jumping in here to dispel the 2 year life-span myth.
I do believe that 2 year myth is rooted in truth, in that many people choose not to treat cushings, or they find out about it so late in the game that too much damage has been done.
Your little Duke is just 10.5 years, which for a little dog, is really not that old at all. I would completely put the 2 year doomsday out of your head!
