Whew!

My thread was buried on page 3, lol.

Just updating on Tobey. Tomorrow is officially two weeks on vetoryl. So far, I would say it's been up and down. She rallied on Saturday and Sunday, really surprising me, but I have not seen as much animation since then. Last night she did have an accident in the house (first time in about 5 days), because I didn't get up with her. The appetite is still ravenous, but her drinking has dropped off somewhat, although not all the time. It comes and goes in peaks.

The abx are really helping the CC. It's not cracking open as much, although more sores are popping up. They don't seem as angry though, which is a good improvement in my book.

She has her next ACTH on January 10th. I can't wait to see where things are at.

Hi Renee:
I am sorry you got lost on page 3. I am glad however that you found something that is working for your baby. I think the CC has to be one of the hardest things to deal with from Cushings. The pain it must cause is terrible. I hope your baby gets fixed up soon. Blessings

Hi Renee, it could be that the cortisol is sort of up and down right now too, or not stable for the entire day. Keep track of when she might have some control slippage, like is it more evening, or early morning or mid day. This way you'll know going forward, if anything needs to be tweaked, where to do so. Maybe you need, 10mg am and 15 mg pm, or something, but it's really too soon to say till after the next test.

You're doing great though and hopefully Tobey's cc will get better too.

Tracking is a good idea. Thanks Sharlene for that suggestion. Her next ACTH is not until Jan 10, which will be three weeks on her current dose of 10/10.

I was wondering.... has anyone ever heard of dosing three times a day? I am disappointed about the vetoryl having such a short half-life. It seems like she rallies for a few hours after dosing, then slides back down.
