imageParris and Reggie’s adorable baby girl Vera/Suki❤️ I have no idea how Parris had red babies, there is no red of apricot anywhere in her pedigree. What a pleasant surprise my sweet girl gave me. The vet called today and the test confirmed Parris has CUSHINGS disease. There are two causes but the most common is a benign tumor on the pituitary gland resulting in the over production of cortisol that regulates sugar and salt. Medication shrinks the growth and production returns to normal however she will need to stay on the meds all her life. I prefer this to Addison’s disease where no cortisol is produced ( much more difficult to regulate). Sadly old dogs wear out ( like old people) I’m so glad there is a fix for my precious girl and I can enjoy her company for awhile longer( a long while ) ❤️😍😍😍
