Cushing's Disease?

Cushing's Disease is back on the table.  Bentley saw the specialist yesterday and she feels he might be A-Typical Cushing's, meaning he may be presenting differently than what classical tests for Cushing's Disease show.  He spent most of the day yesterday at the Western Veterinary Specialist & Emergency Center.  He had another injection of a different steroid and the blood work from that is being sent to a Veterinary University in the USA for the results. It will be another couple of weeks before we know the scoop.  I don't want him to have Cushing's Disease, or any disease, but I think it would be a relief to know what is happening with him so that we can start treating him.   His poor coat is getting worse.
