Checking in for September 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! :)

Boober and I just wanted to say hi. She's approaching her 13th birthday and still trucking along even thou she has Atypical Cushing (diagnosed 2010) and now nasal cancer (diagnosed April 2013). Taking one day at a time and living life to the fullest.

I am new here. My maltese dx with cushings just about 3 months ago. she was taking vetoryl but she seemed to get worse. We took her off it and the prescribed, denamarin just 2 weeks ago. She was prescribed after just a Stim test. a different vet did an ultrasound. the adrenal glands were somewhat enlarged and also symmetrical. Yesterday, she underwent the LDDS. will get the results on Thur. I know little about this disease and its tx. She had no symptoms prior to being prescribed the denamarin. then her thirst increased. now she is very lethargic and losing muscle coordination/control. She has little appetite. I am worried and feel helpless!!
