Patti... I've read through some of the posts on here, I am so sorry and so sad for what you are going through. I really have no advice, as I am very new to all this Cushings stuff, my dog Bentley was recently diagnosed with Cushings (due to the calcinosis cutis, and he has all the other symptoms, the pot belly and breathing issues are scaring me so badly). I just wanted to say I hope things get better for you and your sweet Tipper. I too lost all of my family, and only have my beloved pets left and they are my life, I know how it is.
