I took my dog in because his energy level was lower than his normal peppy self and he wouldn't jump up on furniture or up in the car anymore. The vet examined him and said he had a sore spot in his back and that was why, he must have injured himself running or jumping? Well he became more lethargic and had what looked like head tremors, he stopped greeting me at the door and his stomach area was getting bigger. I looked into his symptoms and it lead me to Cushings Disease. I decided to take him to another vet and get him tested because Oxmoor Clinic kept persisting it was due to his back. It turned out that he did have cushings and it had progressed so far that 6 months later I had to put him down (after treatments of medication). The disease had just progressed too far to save him. I will NEVER take my dogs back there and would NOT recommend this vet to anyone!
