Hello,
My 15 yr. old Mini Doxie was diagnosed with Cushings 2 years ago. We have been managing it with Trilostane. Not long after his diagnosis, he lost his site, his hearing followed and now, he has trouble using his front feet. I carry him outside to check his pmail, I set him down, his front feet stay together and he topples to his side. I stand him back up, he gets his bearings and shuffles to the left in circles while looking for the perfect spot. He has difficulty standing on the grass so we stick to concrete walkway. Now it's gotten to the point that if I don't grab him the minute he is finished, he will fall down right where he stands.
Inside, he uses the walls to navigate, unless I'm in the room then he will shuffle quickly across the room to get to me. I'm not sure if this is a symptom of Cushings or old age. Has anyone else experienced this problem with their dog?
