new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

thank you for the tip. i will research it. gr iris.

Can you order from Diamondback? http://www.diamondbackdrugs.com/

I had previously asked her to look up Diamondback on the web I think they ship out of the country. Unless the shipping would be too high it may be worth a try to contact them. I hope you are having a good weekend with your babies. Stay safe and warm. Blessings

i emailed them yesterday and got a reply.

Please let me know the doses of Trilostane that your dogs would need. Then I can quote accurate pricing for you.

It is difficult to ship prescription medications into EU countries, but I am willing to give it a try.

i emailed back but since it is saturday now, i have to wait till monday for an answer.

I am so glad that you contacted them. This should be much cheaper and safer for you to do. They will be in on Monday and probably you can get an answer then. How is your weather today. What town in the Netherlands do you live in? I am wanting to look at it on Google Earth, and one of our other members village I would like to see. Foreign countries always interest me. Have you lived there your whole life? Tipper is better today but still not great. I may have to take her to the vet tomorrow. I am cooking some more rice for her now. I have been giving her slippery elm. This bout was so bad it may take a few days to clear up. I am so glad I only gave her a little of that food. I can see she lost weight the last 2 days. I hope you are safe and warm with your babies inside. I really hope you can get this drug from Diamondback. It will be a lot cheaper for you and safer. We have about 9 inches of snow and counting as it is still snowing after a whole day of it. Blessings

i wil post their answer here when i get one from diamond back. i think you have to be patient with tipper getting better. all that diarhea must have exhausted her. think about having it yourself, you won't run a marathon the days after.....hope you can save the costs of the vet. it is pretty "warm"' here for the time of the year now. 9 degree celcius. no wind. last year we had lots of snow too, and ice. from november till march.
my flynn suffers from arthritis in his front legs, and it worsened so much after using vetoryl that i have to take the decission to stop with it [for now] he is on a low dose, but it can be a side effect of the vetoryl i read. ian is doing very well at the moment. i also have ians sister enya. she is 11,5 now and i fear that she will get cushing too. as i look back on the last 6 months of their mothers life, i think that she maybe suffered from it too. she was 14 when she died.

So, did your vetoryl you bought from that person never arrive??

Good luck with diamondback. I really hope they can get the medicine for you and at a good price. I was scared to find out the price of vetoryl at my vet's office, but it turned out to be a reasonable price for me, which I am so grateful for!

I am so sorry your babies are not feeling well. The arthritis is because when they take the Vetoryl and it makes the cortisol go down then the inflammation acts up. The cortisol masks the arthritis pain. I cannot believe all the dog s you have that have Cushings and now the mom you think had it too. It is really an epidemic in this country. What breed of dogs are the ones that have it and was the mom the same breed. I just took Tipper out and the temperature is dropping again and very frigid. She has not pooped since last nite and has had a small amount of chicken and rice. I am hoping when she does go it is solid. If not I may ask the vet for something and not take her in as she gets so stressed. It depends on how she feels in the morning and if she gets up tonite. Stay warm and safe I am going to look up the city you told me about. Hope Diamondback can work something out for you. Blessings

are you ordering from diamondback too? i hope they can help me. hopefully tipper is better in the morning. give her the time to recover, it can take some time. stress at the vet is not good for our cushingdogs. mine don't like it too. i always have something in store for my dogs from the vet against diarrhea and vomiting and painkillers. they always surprice you in the weekend. ians an enya's mom was part italian greyhound and part french huntingdog. she was my top sporting dog. she won a lot in agilitycontests. i bred her twice with my shetland sheepdog for myself and others wanting a pup for agility. they did well. ian is from her first litter, enya from her second litter. after that she was spayed.
flynn is a pedigree bordercollie longhaired.
hope you and tipper sleep well tonight.

my bordercollie flynn has arthritis in his front legs and it got worse after using vetoryl. i 've made the discision to stop for now with the vetoryl [he was already on a 2mg/kilo dose] painkillers don't help enough.
has anyone on this forum experience with this side effect of vetoryl?
and what did you do? he is suffering now and this can't go on like this.
