Canine Cushing's Disease ? ?
Does anyone out there have experience with Cushing's disease? I have a vet visit and will ask them to run full CBC, UA and chem panel but so far the symptoms my 6 year old Male Doberman is exhibiting include: increased water consumption, hunger, lethargy = can sleep all day until it's time for his walk, recent hesitancy with ambulating as if his rear was painful, hair loss on sides of abdomen and flank which I initially attributed to allergies and secondary skin infections. Any ideas ?

My dachshund had Cushing's disease. He was grossly obese, intolerant of exercise, had an insatiable appetite, had an oversized abdomen, and had a skull-like appearance to his head.
The vet could tell just by looking at him that he was cushonoid. I didn't notice a large difference in his water consumption. Apparently the physical symptoms made it fairly obvious.
