https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/25860/cushings-in-guinea-pig Hi....just wondering if anybody has any experience of diagnosing/treating GP Cushings...and if so, whether it could present without alopecia? Ive a very poorly patient....drooling excessively 6 weeks ago when first presented...GA for intraoral examen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/180203?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 08 Jun 2017 17:05:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c2481db8-735c-463c-9bc3-29fa8e4c0e1bMarie Kubiak<p>I have to agree with Martin.</p> <p>I wouldn&#39;t be convinced of Cushings without classic clinical signs and&nbsp;supportive&nbsp;bloods (and knowing exact size of adrenals as they are very large in normal guinea pigs) but there are various significant diseases having an impact on animal welfare and with a guarded prognosis. If there is no money to investigate there is also not likely to be funds for long-term medical management and the review appointments etc and this animals requirements for a decent life aren&#39;t going to be met. This guinea pig likely needs extraction of the megadontia (plus ongoing dental evaluation and corrections), review of bloods for systemic disease (renal Dz v common and non specific), further evaluation of adrenals and pulmonary mass and it sounds like you won&#39;t get the option to do things well.</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/180183?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 08 Jun 2017 08:54:15 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:4aba2076-2dd3-4995-ba22-40ec53a77c0eMartin Atkinson<p>Interesting case but I think its time for the great hutch in the sky!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
