My dog Willie died of this disease. It is a pretty bad experience. The animal begin's growing very large, like a pituitary condition. The vet should be checking the blood levels to see the measurements. When it becomes very alcaloid - that is when the end is close. For my dog, he couldn't process water anymore and died of a heart attack in emergency. I think in hind site, the best thing to do is put a warm place in the corner and let them die at home. It took about 1.5 weeks for the big guy to die in the end. I was hand feeding him. Sorry to hear about it. My dog Willie died of this disease. It is a pretty bad experience.

Cushings has MANY symptoms, but itching, flaky, dry skin are some of the symptoms.
Cushings syndrome or Cushings disease is generally caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland and results metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, long hair coat, laminitis etc depending on the animal.
A pituitary tumor can cause Cushings, however a swelling that compresses the pituitary most usually will cause decreased function, not increased function as seen in Cushings. If the pituitary hormones that direct the adrenals fail, it is called Addisons' Disease.
A test that administers dexamethasone to differentiate between normal and cushings Normals will be suppressed then return to normal with a low dose of dexamethasone. Affected will be suppressed with a high dose of dexamethasone
Cushing's syndrome involves the overproduction of cortisol, commonly caused by a pituitary tumor that stimulates excess cortisol production from the adrenal glands. This leads to a variety of symptoms, including weight gain, high blood pressure, and muscle weakness.
Can be a sign of diabetes or cushings disease. Check here for canine diabetes and cushing disease http://k9diabetes.com/forum/index.php?referrerid=18
Decreased motility, especially of the gastrointestinal tract.----
yes.
Of course they can, unless if they are allergic.,
There is no direct connection between Down syndrome and a fear of dogs. Fear of dogs, known as cynophobia, can develop in any individual regardless of their health condition. It is important to approach individuals with Down syndrome, like anyone else, with patience, understanding, and respect when it comes to their feelings and fears.
Yes they can just like humans. My dog has it.
It happens, and can be the result of cushings disease which is the opposite of addisons, but this type is caused by the drugs treating the cushings. this link will help you http://www.caninecushings.net/forums
