Hi, I took Kelsey our black lab/sheperd mix to the vet on tuesday thinking she has a urinary infection. Turns out she didn't, but the blood tests showed a liver enzime problem. The vet is now wondering if she has Cushing's disease.
Her main symptoms are that she drinks allot of water and has to go out and pee all the time. I don't think she eats allot but she gets allot of scraps so it is hard to really tell how much she eats, but she always acts hungry. She has gained a few lbs but she don't get the exersise she should living in town.
She is going on 8 years old and is up to 78 lbs.
Is there a way to tell for sure she has Cushing's? The vet said there are meds for it to help control it but she don't seem to sure yet that is the dogs problem.
