Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with cushing's disease with their hamster?

I had Gus at the vets today and they think he may have it

I have to take a urine sample in tomorrow so they can get a good idea and rule anything out before starting treatment, however the vet advised me that treatment is quite expensive which is worrying.

She also told me that she saw a small amount of white discharge coming from his nose which I haven't noticed before as he must clean it off before I see him, she checked his breathing and said it all sounded clear so thought antibiotics weren't needed.

It's hard to tell his age as I adopted him from a hamster rescue and they guessed he was approximatly around 6 months just before I got him, which will make him around 18 months now give or take.

If anyone could let me know their experience with it, if they've had any, that would be great

Thank you!
