Hi,
My cat has cushings disease. He is responding well to treatment. I was
wondering if there is anyone else out there dealing with this disease
and I wanted to know what kind of treatment you were pursuing.

Thanks
Michele

I've never even heard of Cushings' in a cat. It's common enough in
horses, so if you have a small-animal vet without a lot of experience
with it, you might find a horse vet to give you some advice. The
treatments and outlook might be similar.

How do you know your cat has Cusings? In a horse, the noticeable signs
are usually a long, sometimes wavy coat that doesn't shed, and
oddly-placed fat deposits.

I found this: http://lbah.com/canine/cushings.htm and this:

and this:

with a quick google. Good luck!

I just recently found out a little info on cushings disease and cats, and its
a little disturbing, because The Vets are doing this to our beloved pets.
Shocked? Yeah, I was too! but its true!
