Lincoln slid down into green last night before coming just back into blue for AMPS... thinking it should be a good day for him today...

Hoping all kitties surf safe and work their doses today... and that any kitty who has to see the vet gets helpful news especially Doodles and Wynken

question... lincolns belly looks different.. a little pink and the hair looks a little thinner... DH says he and Stubbs were wrestling hard in the man cave the other night... so he thinks that is what it is... one spot looked like broken skin... rubbed some polysporn in ... thing is i googled... which is never a good thing cause it never tells you hey your cat is find dont worry... so of course cushings came up... wondering if anyone here has a kitty with cushings and belly hair issue what it looks like... trying to be positive but going negative in my mind and starting to over think it

 

[Doodles & Karen]

@Tuxedo Mom has a cushings kitty.

k read that link and it doesnt sound like that... sounds more like he is over cleaning... the rest of his coat is shiny and soft... and all the hair on his neck grew back since the last time the vet did his BW... wondering if there is an allergy to one of the foods i have been feeding

Hoping Lincoln surfs sweetly tonite!
Yo Lincoln! While a furless belly might feel good in the breeze it's giving your mum kittens worrying about it! Time to grow some fur there buddy!

after 24 hours in the blue / greens (mostly blues just a flash of green)... Lincoln decided to visit the yellows... so the bean will get some sleep tonight... still 24+ hours in the Blues... will totally take that... his body is still learning what normal is and the bounces are getting smaller and dont last as long but he is still learning normal for now it looks like

With Cushing's you will usually notice hair loss/thinning over the entire body. Another telling sign is a pot-bellied appearance. My Tuxie looks like he is pregnant, due to enlarged liver, pancreas and adrenals. If you have any suspicions of Cushing's the simplest test is the UCCR (Urine cortisol creatinine ratio) test. This involves collecting a urine sample at home so there is no stress and taking it to your vet who will send it to IDEXX or another outside lab who does the testing, If basically measures the amount of cortisol in the urine and if it is within normal ranges then no further testing needs to be done. If you need more information just ask and I can give you other tests that are useful.
