  3. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

    Oh Carole, I am sad to hear that Skippy continues to suffer so greatly.

    I have not much more to offer other than comfort and supportive thoughts as you both continue to fight the good fight.

  4. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

    Carole,

    I only have a minute but I wanted to support the idea of not putting Skippy back on trilo.

    With Mojo, it is very clear to me that his tumor grew swiftly (more swiftly than it would...
  5. Re: Backstory and ?'s about our BT with cushings

    Hi!

    My dog, Mojo, definitely suffered the same issue - once we started treating with Vetoryl and the cortisol was reduced the tumor grew and neuro symptoms worsened.

    I did not have a brain...

  9. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

    Carole - oh, my heart is breaking for you. I felt the same during Mojo's journey and it is soul crushing.

    They are so much stronger than we ever think - Skippy is a little warrior and I wish...
  10. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

  13. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

    Oh Carole, I don't have many words.

    Hang in there and I pray that Skippy's pain subsides.

    Both of my dogs had pneumonia when they were puppies and made full recoveries if that is any...
  14. Re: Skippy, 12 y/o Yorkie with likely pituitary tumor (Trilostane)

    Oh my, poor Skippy :(

    My dog, Cassidy (Mojo's sister) has a back condition and when it flares up she won't settle. It is so unsettling for me ...

    I totally understand how you feel right now...

    I am hopeful that the...

    Re: Poor appetite

    Hi Linda,

    No worries! I took Mojo off trilo completely because it was really just making everything worse.

    I will never know if the trilo hastened the progress of the disease or if it was...

    Re: Poor appetite

    The worst symptom for my Mojo was the inappetence. He was a thin dog to begin with and not the best eater before Cushing's ... it became really the focus of our treatment once everyone figured out...

  21. Re: Mojo - Cushing's/macroadenoma

    Mojo died peacefully yesterday at 12:45pm in the arms of his parents. He was not alone and he was surrounded by love for his journey ...

    This pain is so heavy I am overwhelmed. I did not expect...
  22. Re: Mojo - Cushing's/macroadenoma

    Hi Everyone -

    Well, we are at the crossroads. Mojo's slow and steady decline continues and over this past week his quality of life has really taken a hit. The muscle loss from the Cushing's has...

  25. Re: Mojo - Cushing's/macroadenoma

    Hi Carole!

    Right?!? I was annoyed with him at first but then I realized that I really never pushed for a solution on the inappetence because I was so preoccupied with trying to get the Vetoryl...
