What is wrong when?

My daughter-in-law asked me what is wrong with a dog when they have a potbelly, are losing their hair and drinking alot of water. Does anyone know what diesease this is? The vet thought her dog had it awhile back but she didn't lose her hair. Now the neighbors dog is having these symptoms and we can't remember what the disease was.

Re: What is wrong when?

Cushings maybe one thing but I made the mistake of thinking that was what was wrong with my girl and I had to put her to sleep today one week after her diagnosis of advanced cancer

Re: What is wrong when?

There can be many reasons the dog is having those symptoms. Some life threatening serious. Go to the vet and get a full work up, I wouldnt wait a minute more.

Re: What is wrong when?

If the neighbor's dog is getting the symptoms too, find out who's been spraying their lawn, or fertilizing. That would be my first suspician.
