my yorkie who is 10 1/2 years periodically pees in the house and his dark hair is thinning all over his torso (hair on legs, head and belly are fine). he tested negative for cushings, but now i'm starting to think possible a kidney prob or diabetes. any advice out there? i have appt with the vet on friday, but i wanted to put this out there anyway.

Is he drinking a lot too and losing wt?? My Jax is diabetic. Symptoms sound like cushings too though. I briefly read on the one of the yahoo groups I am on that there is a more detailed test for cushings. I read briefly and erased those emails so I can't go back and look. You may want to join that group and snoop around though.
