On a sad note, my big boy Spike is not well. He's losing the ability to control his back legs and today he was drooling a LOT. Like tons of thick drool. I've never seen anything like it. He may not make it through the weekend. I'll get a pic. He is pitiful. :cry:
Does Spike have cushings disease?

My friend's dog has it. Can't control back legs, needs help getting up sometimes. She was scheduled to be put down 3 wks. ago, but improved a bit and vet was canceled.

I visited her today and she's still alive, eating, drinking and not peeing in the house.

It warms my heart to see her still alive.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look it up.

That sounds like a poisoning to me ... I'd take him in NOW
He's an inside cat and the other cats aren't drooling. Spike stopped and is sleeping somewhere now. He can't get to his normal spots.
We have been feeding him multiple times a day and he seemed to be doing better as far as the weight loss was concerned. But his hind legs are slowly giving out and walking is awkward and difficult. Running is not an option.

I am so sorry. I can't like your post because I don't like what is happening. Is there any possibility he was poisoned?
