What I've noticed are the bloated stomach area, increased fluid intake, frequent urination and hair loss after the skin sores pop up.

We've tried antibiotics thinking that would clear up the sores and all they did was give him severe diahrrea. I'm going to take the information I printed off to the vet this next weekend and talk to him about doing the bloodwork.

In the past, we have did give him doses of prednisone for his allergies. That is what the old vet suggested. We now give him shots for his allergies. Shows you the difference of how an old vet and a new vet will treat the same problem. We think the long term doses of prednisone may have caused this if it is in fact Cushing's.
