Well guys found out our little girl has Cushing's disease. Never heard of this before. People also can get this. We are pretty devastated. It apparently shortens their life with a whole bunch of different types of ailments. We are seeking treatment right now for some different medications. They say if you're lucky you could get about 3 more years with them if caught early. I wanted forever. However we will also look at her quality of life. Just recently she tore her ACL and we got a brace for her. She had fallen and fractured a couple teeth that we had extracted. I think due to her leg. All that shit and now this???? She's only 9 years old right now. I know we got a lot of dog lovers and beautiful one's on the Forum. It's amazing how a little dog can be a huge part of your life, teach you, change you. So love your dog, get them tested at around 6 for this. There is no cure, just medication. Sorry for the rant.

thanks guys I really, really appreciate the kind words and thoughts! My wife has never had a dog before. She has always been a cat person. Georgia has definitely captured not only mine but her heart too. We are hoping for the best and should gets some meds for her first part of the week.
 
Here is one of two. She was a rescue from KY. She is a great pup. Scared of everything but still great.

When in doubt, throttle out.

Sorry to hear this. We had a Yorkie that was 10 and a diabetic. We found out her kidneys started failing and potassium building in her body. After 2 trips to UT they couldn't do anything. It's so hard to see them go through this kind of stuff.

Don’t be sorry. We just went through a hard year ourselves with our dogs. It’s never easy to see them sick.

Here are our two boys.

Sorry to here guys, We are going to give her the best we can. Started meds at $400 every three months. Shes worth it.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that Pete. I've been hoping to NOT see you post in this thread. I know exactly how you feel. Our dogs have always been an integral part of our lives and it's the worst when something happens to one of them. Especially the special ones. Hang in there buddy.

Yup! We actually plan our trips with her. Always make sure dogs are allowed. Hell when our schedules meet the three of us go out for breakfast and Georgia always gets something. Thanks Jerry!

Most of us have been there. Mine had a really bad auto immune disorder and after two years of antibiotics we were ready to out him down. The day before it was scheduled he perked up his whole attitude and that was a year and a half ago. Look into cbd oil for dogs. It has zero thc but all the medical benefits and has kept mine happy almost two years since he wouldn't even try to walk. He's had cancer this whole time but nothing's slowed him down. I'm sure yours will find a way as well. I know Cushing's doesn't make the joints feel too great on people or dogs so something like cbd oil would at the very least make her comfortable.
