I'm curious if anyone else has noticed their senior bully losing muscle mass. My girl is 11.5 and over the past year she has lost the roundness in her face and her legs are kind of bony and no longer have that thick muscular look. She is on steroids every other day which I suspect could be the culprit. Typically people have difficulty keeping weight off of their dog but ever since she began steroid treatment a year ago to treat an autoimmune disease we've had trouble keeping her weight up despite increasing her food. I wonder if it could possibly be a symptom of Cushing's disease. She was tested for Cushing's about 10 months ago but it could have been a false negative.
Anyone have any thoughts regarding muscle wasting or had a dog exhibit this symptom with Cushing's?
