She did blood and what I think I remember her saying is that there is no yes or no diagnosis test for Cushing's but that the liver levels are looked at and the levels were off. He started with fur loss on his head actually and then it spread to between his shoulders, that grew back mostly, and then his legs and a bit on his chest, and now his hindquarters at the scent glads. He also has those.dark pigmentation spots. His water intake had increased a couple months back before all of this and his urination amount picked up too. My first chinchilla gets pyometra and my second hamster gets Cushing's AND my youngest cat was born with faulty kidneys and lost one at 2 yrs old and ia now in the beginning stages of renal faliure 6 yrs later. Do sickly animals flock to me?

Forgot to mention but after getting home and getting fluids he's grooming himself for the first time since this started.
