Hi Everyone,

So Yukon has been sneezing constantly the last couple weeks so I took him to the Vet and she checked him out and said that he might just have a virus. A couple days later I started...

The last test we had done his cortisol was still within range but all the other sex hormones were elevated. Since he was diagnosed with diabetes we have been trying to regulate that. I finally got...

Hi Lori,

Thanks I am really trying. Yukon is going pretty good, he does not have a pot belly anymore, but I do notice his hair shedding a little more since I discontinued the melatonin. His BG...

Hi,

It has been a few months since I wrote regarding my 13 year old American Eskimo Yukon and his journey with Cushings that he was diagnosed with in April. Because his Cortisol was not high he...

Well let's hope it happens with Yukon. I am starting the Melatonine tonight. Keep your fingers crossed.

You said that Squirt started off Atypical - did he then go into a full Cushing's mode? Do they start out Atypical and then progress? And if so about how long does that take?

Hi Marianne,

Yes that is what the Internal Medicine doctor me to do - start Yukon on 3mg Melatonin 1x a day and then in 7-10 days increase to 2x day and add flaxseed lignans. Have you seen this...
