Cushing's Disease.

[Midge&Panda]

To cut a long story short it looks as if my old girl Rosie (5.1/2y) is likely to have Cushing's. Now because of her age I don't really think it's fair to subject her to the more complicated tests to definitely diagnose this. As well as all the monitoring that goes with the more 'medicinal' treatment. She has been through an awful lot of treatment and stress in her life. I know that some members of the forum have had pigs with Cushing's and would be grateful of their advice. Also I have been reading up on the Cushex drops and am going to discuss these with my vet. But if anybody has used these for any of their pets again any information or any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

I am tagging @flintstones for you. Her Milo was diagnosed with Cushing's. It is very rare in guinea pigs, so there is no research and no established way of treating it, unfortunately.
