I rang the vet and asked about the Thyroid, he said that he tested for that and it was negative. Yes the skin does appear darker.

They tested for Cushings which came back negative. So far the hair loss is only to the tail, the lower back and slightly on the rump of the leg.

The vet advised us to feed him twice a day, he was happy for him to continue to have dry food in the morning and wet food at night ( meat with vegies & pasta or rice). The only thing that has changed is the volume of food, he gets at least twice as much as he use to before he started losing weight.

Does anyone know what this could be? Or recommend a treatment. 7yr old desexed male cross (shih tzu x maltese) who is loosing weight, constantly hungry and losing his hair. Prescribed creon tablets for 2 weeks but no positive change was seen. Next thought was Cushions Disese or diabetes but blood tests have come back all clear, all major organs are working normally. Vet now saying saying its possibly a hormonal deficiency.

Both my boys are burpers and farters. Morgan especially, my OH use to burp and blow it in his face (very disgusting) so now Mogs waits until you are looking at him to burp.

How's Murray doing today anne? Sending lots of hugs to you all

I dont normally visit this section...sounds interesting. Im currently in the process of looking at training for my 1yr old. Count me in depending on the price but I should of recovered from Xmas spending by then :D

Try using a shampoo called MALASEB. It reduces itchyness and soothes the skin
