Hi everyone.
I have a 10 year old boxer girl. She has been incontinent for about a year and the vet gave us some meds and put it down to her age. Over the past month she has been incredibly thirsty and hungry but was losing weight. She was also not her bouncy self. Sleeping a lot more and shaking and panting without exercise. I took her to the vet on Friday when I witnessed the shaking. The vet ruled out diabetes as her urine was clear but has taken bloods as she suspects cushing's disease. We get the results on Monday.
I stupidly googled it and she has all of the symptoms and I am so worried. She is already arthritic and I have seen that the meds make this worse.
I hope it is nothing but I just needed to talk to somebody.
I have two DC's aged 2 and 4 and they are absolutely besotted with her. She is my first baby and I don't know what to do. I can't wait till Monday. I just need to know what it is.
Does anyone have any experience with this disease?
Thanks.
