Re: 10 - 12 year old terrier mixed/Cushing's/Confusion, back legs giving out
OH my word! At 10-12 yrs old your baby has many more potential years ahead! Please don't give up now. Unless there is some other condition at work, a cush pup can live out its full life span and beyond. Please get copies of all the testing done to both diagnose this disease and the monitoring ACTHs since starting treatment. A couple of questions - are you giving the med with a meal? Are the ACTHs being performed 4-6 hours after the dose and meal?
