As for treatment, it al depending on what type of Cushings it is. It is treatable and, depending on the age if Rex, it would be a good idea to try and treat him. Once the symptoms of Cushing are under control, the dog can live a very happy life. Its certainly not a horrible, grim diagnosis. The goal would be to make sure Rex is a comfortable as possible and treatment will do that.
He is being tested for Diabetes as well as Cushings. We should know more tomorrow. Thanks for the link.
