Re: Update on Corky
Hi Terri,
Good to hear from you and Corky again but am sorry to hear he has been confirmed as cushinoid.
I have a few questions...of course! Like the others, it would really help to see the results from the tests he has had recently that led to this diagnosis. The U/S showed only one adrenal enlarged? Did they tell you whether he has ADH or PDH (adrenal or pituitary based)? Did the IMS tell you anything along the lines that Trilo was "safer" than Lyso? If so, please don't be lulled into thinking Trilo cannot harm Corky - it is just a powerful a drug as Lyso but works in a different way. It has the ability to necrose the adrenals just as Lyso does and Addisonian crisis are possible with Trilo just as with Lyso. Some dogs do really well on Trilo while others do better on Lyso. Also, what other meds is he on at the moment? Some meds are not recommended to be mixed with Trilo.
Hang in there!
Hugs,
Leslie and the girls
