Weak legs

My 9 year old Shih Tzu was diagnosed with cushings a few months ago.  The only real change in his
behaviour has been that he seems to stumble a lot and his legs seem to go out on him like he is on
ice and they just collapse.  Has anyone else had this as a symptom of cushings?

it can be a symptom of it but with any dog that has a long back consider the possibility of back problems too.

I answered in your other post that our dog also had very weak legs.  It is definately a symptom of Cushings.  We would have to carry her outside on occasion, and she would walk around a little, pee, and then we would carry her back.  It didn't happen all the time.  Is the weak legs the only symptom your dog has?

I'm sorry your question got missed. I'm afraid I don't know for sure about all the different symptoms of Cushing's. But I can certainly bump up your post, so you may get an answer soon.
