Hi there, I went to the vet this week about my 3 year old boar, who's been experiencing hair loss. We've treated him for mites and a yeast infection to no avail, and the vet thinks it could be Cushing's. This also fits with his drinking patterns - he seems to get incredibly thirsty sometimes and drinks like he c a n n o t quench his thirst. We're going in for a saliva test in a couple of weeks, so there's still nothing certain.
I wanted to find out a bit more about long term Cushing's management, and could see that various threads have been started over the years, but none have stayed active for very long. I was just wondering if anyone has experience of long term Cushing's and if so, what it's like?
My vet seemed pretty optimistic about his prospects - she said if he's diagnosed and we start him on medication, he should improve pretty quickly. When I've looked online though, it seems so uncommon that I'm not sure there's enough data really to have any sense of what this might be like long term. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it?
Thank you!
