Cushing's/PPID causes the muscle to breakdown faster than it can be formed. Until that is under control, he is going to have a hard time putting and keeping weight on. Until the insulin level is under control and the trim set up to support his internal structures, his feet are going to hurt.
How is Oreo's attitude?
Hang in there, you can help him!
