Sadly, I’ve been wondering about that myself. Yesterday I looked back in your thread to see whether Milo likely has a pituitary tumor rather than an adrenal tumor, and based on the original ultrasound it looks to be pituitary. If so, an enlarging pituitary tumor can indeed put pressure on the areas of the brain that control hunger, thirst and coordination. That’s what I suspect happened with my own Cushpup. After a few months of successful treatment, he fairly suddenly stopped eating and drinking along with some other neurological problems. Unfortunately, the only way to diagnose an enlarging pituitary tumor for sure is through expensive imaging of the head, and the most common treatment here in the U.S. remains a series of radiation treatments. My husband and I chose not to put our boy through all that, and we ended up releasing him when he would no longer eat or drink at all.

I don’t wish to frighten you with my own story, but it is true that I started wondering the same thing about Milo. I surely hope this is not the case and that the antibiotic will help him feel better. As far as the elevated platelets and liver readings, those are all common with Cushing’s. So I wouldn’t worry about those too much.

I am sending many more healing wishes, and please continue to update us, OK?
