Sammie came to Curly Tail because the family who owned him wantedto 'retire'. They felt that Sammie was a heavy burden to take care ofin the future. Curly Tail was aware of his diabetes but not aware ofwhat the vet notes called a 'guarded condition'.
Upon first exam ofthe vet, it was concluded that Sammie could possibly have CushingsSyndrome. Cushing's syndrome (also calledhyperadrenocorticism or hypercorticism) is a hormone disorder caused byhigh levels of cortisol (hypercortisolism) in the blood. Because ofthe Cushing Syndrom, Sammie's diabetes had not been under control. We will keep you updated on Sammie's condition as we work to stabilize this sweet boy with the cutest overbite ever.
He will need several rounds of blood work, daily insulin and anultrasound. We have already started providing Sammie with the care heneeds...it will be a costly endeavor but this sweet boy with the bigpersonality is worth it!
