To Jude,
I wanted to mention that Cushings causes an increase of hormones called cortisones. The OP's dog had a decrease in hormones so it's a different situation.
My dog was just diagnosed with borderline Cushings. We have to bring him in for more test within 6 months of his last test to see if he's condition worsened. If so the vet wants to start him on meds called Lysodren. Do you know if he's diagnosed with pituitary gland tumors or is it adrenal gland tumors. I'm still learning on my dog's diagnosis but I've heard that meds work well on the cases with the pituitary tumors, which is about 85% of the cases, an less well with the adrenal gland ones. The latter condition works best with surgery.
