Checking in for June 2018

"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! :)

I'll check in with you all. Blue is doing great! He originally started (March 2018) on 120 mg of trilostane, and we felt it was too much, he got a little zoned out. We took him down to 60 mg a day in May. But we quickly realized it didn't seem to be enough. We could tell it was waring off in the evening. We have since taken him to 60mg twice a day. His second ACTH test is scheduled for Thursday June 7th so we are hoping for positive news. But so far so good! That trilostane seems to be a godsend. for now anyhow....I hope everyone else is doing well.
