10 year old female beagle just diagnosed with Cushings - Ginger has passed

Just an update. After Ginger has been on Lysodren for her month of maintenance dose her tests results were 4.8 before and 11.2 after. So the vet called and said since they were elevated some to add one more day of 1/4 pill. So I now give her a quarter pill four times a week. She seems okay so far with this dosing. It has only been a week, but She seems the same as when she was on the quarter pill 3 times a week. She will be retested in a month or so. Hope you are all doing well!

Great to hear from you. When will you recheck to see if the extra 1/4 pill had done the trick?
Hope this is it for tweaks. :)

I really do hope that the extra dose will help and that a mini load won't be needed. How are Ginger's symptoms?

will retest in about 2 months. I do not see see any symptoms as far as excess water intake, panting or lethargy. Her bowel movements are normal, no nausea,. She wants to walk and is playful at times. She seems as close to normal as I can tell. I did add a few more pictures to her album!

Will we check in about 2 months, Maybe about a month and a half now. She seems to be doing pretty well. No symptoms that I can see! Keeping my fingers crossed and prayers said. I did add a few more pictures to her album!We are in Indiana visiting my parents for a while! Hope you all are doing well!

How are things up your way?
Ginger has been doing great on vacation. We are in Indiana visiting my parents. She has been wonderful with the travels as long as I give her her car sick pills. She stays pretty close to my side, but I wouldn't want it any other way! No matter how old she gets, she will always be my baby! So far no adverse symptoms with the addition of the extra 1/4 pill. She wants to walk and walk and run through the lush grass here! I love seeing her so active and spry! Hope all of you are well and staying safe and enjoying this Memorial Day weekend!

This is excellent!! I am very happy to hear that Ginger is doing so well and enjoy her traveling adventures still. What a pretty picture go her you pant rolling and playing in the grass. Beagles are so happy when they can be free like that.
Safe travels

Will take Ginger to the vet this morning for her retest to see how the extra 1/4 pill is doing however, Sat. she started having severe Diarrhea and threw up once. Other than that she seemed normal. Wanted to eat and was willing to take a walk. So I fixed her some rice and lean chicken. She eat that and seemed a little better most of the day, but then was sick by about 10 pm. Up all night with diarrhea. Almost every 30-60 minutes. She never went much but she tried. Sun the same so I gave her some rice water from long cooking white rice and then boiled some ground beef. Again she ate, but the diarrhea continued. Called vet Mon. They said to not give her her Lysodren Mon. and bring her in Tues. She was up again all night last night with Diarrhea and was sick about 1:30 am. Any help for you all out there?? Getting very scared! Thank you

When do you take her to the vet today? When was her last Lysodren pill?

Well I don't like the sounds of throwing up and diarrhea. Do let us know what the vet said!!
