Did they do a skin scrape to properly check for parasites? Is he itchy? I agree with Souffle's post too. I had a hammie with Cushings but she scratched too. She was also treated for mites which didn't work. Then another vet, exotic vet diagnosed Cushings. Found out to never go to a small animal vet if you have access to an exotic vet. Even if the are more expensive
