The vet agreed on possible cushings, back to the vet late next week for a blood test and ect. Our vet said she can live about three more yrs, with the cushings disease.

I had a horse with Cuchings, but she also had some other things going on and she died at the age of about 24. She had Cushings the last year or so of her life.
