    What I have found so far:

    Untreated, can cause hypothyrodisim and kidney failure, along with a host of other things. We've been treating her for both of these since January. Did she have the Cushings Disease first?

    A diet of raw meats and plenty of vegetables and antioxidants might be helpful.

    New drug Anipryl, not a chemo drug, takes longer to work, has no adverse side effects.

    At best she could have 2 years left with me! This is causing me a huge amount of grief.

    More readings:

    Petalive Cushex Drops might be a choice, they contain dandelion, burdock, huang qi, arsenicum, hepar sulph, mercurius and sulphur.

    No treatment: pronosis poor, dog generally dies (THIS SUCKS!!!!!)

    Treated: symptoms gone in 4-6 months, can live many more years. (THIS HAS TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO GO). I DON'T CARE WHAT IT COSTS.

    I don't know a lot about Cushings although my Lacey was tested for it years ago. My SILs dog had it, he lived a long life and did well. If that is what Sasha has your vet can help you choose the best treatment. I will keep Sasha in my prayers.
