Checking in for June 2013

[mytil]

"Checking in" is a topic that we start on the first of each month. We suspect that we have a good number of members who read the messages regularly but who don't post very often. Maybe that's because their dogs are doing well, or they don't have a Cushing's dog anymore, or they haven't got any questions to ask, or maybe they don't feel very comfortable about posting answers to other members' questions. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for folks to only post once in a while, but when we don't hear from people, many of us find ourselves wondering what those folks have been up to recently and how their dogs are doing.

It's always preferable to post updates about your Cushing's dog in your own thread/topic (especially if you want feedback/replies from other members) but you can also post a quick reply here if you just want to say hi and let everyone know how you are doing in general.

We'd love to hear from you! :)

Well I don't have any updates on Gracie since she hasn't been tested yet but I do want to thank everyone for your kindness.

I don't know how to enter my own checking in but want to share my situation. My dog was diagnosed with Cushings and Atypical
Cushings in Sept. 2011. she was on Lysodren for 1 year then the internest stopped replying to my vet. I decided to switch Trillostan but my vet said we had to wait 2 months. When we check her blood levels they continue to be normal so we never put her on any other drug. Her only symptom now is the excessive drinking. She can sleep now 5-6 hours ,no accidents. I give her 3milligrams of meletonin at bedtime. She participates in agility activities as well.

Myrna,

I copied this post into Brittany's original thread so more will see it and be able to comment.

If it's been a while since you've signed in and posted, you will have to go back several pages to find her thread. But it will be there until you tell us to close it. ;)
