what an odd collection of symptoms
Yes it certainly was. The vet said the leg stomping was due to her lack of circulation of blood. Sort of like pins and needles when the leg goes to sleep. The heart was just not pumping enough. She would rest, then try and get up, but was not strong enough.
The vet asked about her long, curly hair coat and if she was always like this. I said "Cushings" and he said correct. I suspected she had that before, but without the test, we didn't know for sure. The symptoms were there, drinking and peeing alot,but she never foundered, like alot do. The Cushings would explain why she had a running nose periodically. Her immune system was jeopardized. This last infection really weaken her heart.
The neighbor is coming this afternoon to bury her. My pasture is a pet cemetery. 2 horses, 2 dogs and 2 cats. Alison gathered up some pictures and other items, put them in a box and is going to put it in the grave.
Aw that’s very sweet to bury things with her.
Cushings makes sense. You managed her diet well then, that she never foundered, some of them can founder with a change in the wind even if you manage them completely.
