Pookie is doing so much better now. I don't know what miracle occured, or if this is the calm before the storm, but I'm happy she is doing well. I'm going to have another blood check in a week or...
I am glad to hear she appears to be getting better. Wish I had some insight on her blood pressure, but I don't have any experience in that area. I'm not sure if Omega 3's would help, but may.
I'm crossing my fingers she stays where she is at, because Pookie is in a good place right now. I had to email the vet yesterday, because Pookie is now screaming when I give her SubQ's. I'm...
Did you get the lab results as to what is normal for the post? If not, I would ask for it. I wish all labs used the same standard. It just makes us cush parents more confused and stressed.
I was also curious on what your dogs diet is? I am just starting to try this:

I'm not licensed or a pro, but the post seems really high for sure. Pookie's post only doubled, which my vet said didn't mean she had Cushing's. Your post is over 6 times, which seems like alot. ...
Hi Marianne,
Thank you for your feedback. My vet also suggest that if it were her dog, she wouldn't treat, but she said it was up to me. I am just worried about not treating and encountering...
Just got a call from my vet and said her base cortisol level is now under the normal range at 1.7. Pookie was given a trazadone the day her blood was drawn. I don't know if Trazadone could be the...

Pookie is in a good place right now and her only clinical sign is her hair loss all along her back, which includes plenty of black pigmentation changes. The only reason I'm going to treat is to try...
I'm so sorry she is intolerent to it. I think they make a generic to it which you may want to ask about. Also, I'm going to start Vetoryl with Pookie next week and I hope it helps. You can try the...
Hope all is well. What did your vet recommend?
I thought kibble was bad, because it's not fresh. I could be wrong. Do you think it's ok for Cushing's dogs to eat kibble?
What is her blood pressure reading? Also, what are you doing about the elevated alk phosphatase? Is her liver and gallbladder ok?
Why is she on an antibiotic? Is it because of her stools? If her stools were fine before the Vetoryl, I would think the Vetoryl could cause it and maybe diet and probiotics would be better. I know...
I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I have not started on the Vetoryl yet and may not. Can you ask the vet about a lower dose? Also, my little Pookie is eating again, but her hair has gotten worse...
Just an update. Pookie is eating kibble again after a month. Not sure what to make of this, but kibble is not good for her Cushing's, but this isn't her main dish in the day, just a snack that's...
Pookie is doing pretty good given the circumstances and her age. Since I'm still waiting on the Thyroid test and my vet doesn't know yet if we should start the Trilostane, I started adding back the...
I'm still waiting on her Thyroid test to come back, which was over a week ago. Given the immune suppression of cortisol in our dogs, I'm supplementing Pookie with Vit C twice a day. Since Cushing's...
I hope the meds work for your baby, because I may have to start Pookie on them. I'm still waiting on her Thyroid test to come back, which was over a week ago. Given the immune suppression of...
Did you try the Pepcid and Elm Bark as suggested before? I'm still waiting to here back on Pookie's thyroid. It has been over a week and now her hair/skin is peeling away from the middle of her...
Thank you for your feedback. I'm just concerned that an untreated dog with Cushing's is more prone to all sorts of problems, which can be fatal. I'm also concerned with treatment, because that...
Can someone clarify what these numbers mean, or if Trilostane should be started? Here are Pookie's numbers for her Cushing's tests and dates:
913.18 - BAAH
Dexamethasone Suppression Test-...
I also signed up here for suggestions: https://www.justanswer.com/help/. 2 vets on here says I should start treatment with Vetoryl... Still don't know. You could sign up and get answers as well. ...
