The vet has now confirmed that Coltie has cushings or as he put it is 'cushingoid'
Coltie is going onto medication but has anyone any ideas re feed - types rather than brands as my feed merchant can't always get a particular 'make or named brand'
Colt is 12.2. M&M (sorry not a dales.)28 years old Very dodgey teeth(not many left!) he has a good appitite and is in light work,out daytime and in at night. He has lost some condition during the past month due to his cushings symptoms.
His only real symptom is the weeing - so no problem with heavy coat or sweats but the vet has said beware of lammi, a cushings nightmare and Coltie has all the atributes(small, M&M,and greedy)
Any suggestions greatly received.
Oh and we won't tell Pearl who is only going to get a handful of nuts and chaff and a carrott..................
