These do not sound like typical symptoms of Cushing’s disease which would cause increased thirst and urination, increased hunger, and characteristic changes to the appearance. If Cinnamon has started medication for Cushing’s I would be concerned her dose would potentially be too high and you should contact your veterinarian right away. It’s possible that she has something going on with her brain that is causing these behavior changes. In some rare situations Cushing’s is caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland so if she has a tumor that is pressing in her brain it is possible that she could have these symptoms related to Cushing’s. Regardless I would recommend having her examined by your veterinarian.
