I am sorry that Trixie is not herself. Cushing’s disease is a hormonal disease that typically occurs in middle age to older dogs. These are the clinical signs of cushings; https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-common-signs-of-cushing-s-syndrome-in-dogs/ If you are noticing troubling issues with Trixie such as pain when urinating, difficult urinating, changes to drinking behaviours. I would advise a return trip to the veterinarian as a possible infection of complication from her surgery may be present.
