My dog tested negative for Cushing's years ago. When to retest?

Question

If a dog has tested negative for Cushings disease, do they need to be tested again? The tests were several years ago. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Female | spayed | 11 years and 3 months old | 21 lbs

I would recommend it if she were showing signs. Though she wasn't years ago, she could be now. Signs include increased thirst, increased urination, increased appetite, a pot belly appearance and panting. I hope this helps!
