Baby Boy Sting

Over the past few months it's been very sad to see Sting's coat and skin deteriorate.... with symptoms of alopecia-X and ringworm issues.
After various tests and a Cushing Disease screening process.... the results to date points to Cushing Disease... brought on by an imbalance loop of Cortisol (steroids) in respect to the adrenal, hypothalamus and pituitary glands; usually due to a slow growing cancer or tumour in non-pituitary dependent cases.

Currently he's on Vetoryl, with a re-screening test in 30 days :o(

Its all very sad in more ways then one, as I owe my changes and progress to him... He was my first Alaskan (proven race dog), and paved the way for me from then forward!
