It looks like Chestnut might have Cushings disease. I'm devastated and heartbroken. I have not had enough time with this beautiful little girl.

I tell her everyday that she is the best little girl dog in the whole world. She would be the best, but we also have her litter mate brother, and he truly is the best little boy dog in the world. I can't play favorites. She's so bossy. And SO smart. She used to outfox her brother by going outside->

-> and barking at nothing so he would get off the couch & she could run back in first to take his spot next to us. He fell for this for at least a year. She sleeps weird, ever since she was a pup, with her arms out like Superman. Or with her head hanging off the couch like a Dali painting.

She never just drinks water. She chomps at it ferociously! Splashes it all over, then walks all over the house with her patented "Chestnut drippy mouth" and leaves little puddles to mark her passing. She follows both of us all over the house & guards us seriously when we go to the bathroom.

She's hard-core pair bonded with her brother. I don't know what we will be able to do for the grief he will inevitably feel. I think that's the thing that will make me the saddest. This is just awful all the way around.

They don't know for sure yet, we're still waiting on tests. But the vet thinks that's what it's going to be. I am hoping they're wrong. She's only 7 years old. 3 more years would be a gift... as long as she's not suffering.

They thought my dog had Cushings and it turned out he didn't, so fingers and paws crossed here for you and Chestnut.

I'm sorry, I know how hard it is to be facing these issues.

The vet thought my little mini schnauzer had Cushings but it turned out not to be. She's had really high liver enzymes which was concerning... but she's been symptom free for over 5 years. I hope you have a good outcome like ours!
