Thank you, that is reassuring, also would explain why daisy's "pre" has dropped a bit lower upon recheck recently. Funny enough we were pretty sure that she fit some of the classic cushing's...

Yea i've been hanging out on the diabetic forum as well. :) What's the FB page called, is it also by same people or just general pages?

Yes I think we're going to hold off on testing for...

How soon after getting off medication do symptoms typically return?

Thanks for the shampoo advice, we have been using the dechra anti fungal shampoo on her regularly. It works to help maintain,...

What is everyone doing for skin though? Those who get skin infections/yeast infections from Cushing's, are there any helpful products that you have found that I can maybe utilize. I hate using...

haha! you're cute Labblab :) thanks for being willing to explode on my behalf! :D I know you meant well, and it's great that you had a good experience with a specialist, unfortunately mine wasn't...

Regarding the bad breath, she thinks it has to do with her dental condition, she suggests a deep cleaning under anesthesia. But I really don't want to do that! Not only is it expensive, but I'm too...

So how certain is it that there is no Cushing's if the adrenals are a normal size? Because from what the doc said it's about 80-90%, not 100%. The symptoms were constant infections that she had of...

So we had the appointment with the specialist today. It was good and bad. As far as cushing's, since they are a sister hospital of the hospital where daisy was hospitalized and where they did her...

Do you guys have any advice on what questions to address exactly regarding Cushing's and Diabetes? Don't want to miss anything.

So far we just continue with the 6 units NPH N every 12h. I did a curve recently and it was 300's down to 100's and back up to 300's, which isn't her worst curve. So from here on not sure what else...

Hi again! Happy New Year! I have decided to take my Daisy in to see an internist specialist, our apt is on the 6th on Monday. I just wanted to ask for advice of what exactly I should ask her as far...

I totally understand what you're saying! We have walked away from bad vets before, I wouldn't hesitate to walk out if I felt like they were there for the wrong reasons. I have to say I do like my...

I guess he was a bit more hesitant about that pre, since he said that a level of 0.5 or less can cause addisonian crisis, and she wasn't far from that, who's to say she won't drop lower, since she...

You may be right, I might take her in for a consultation, but they will likely want to repeat all the blood work which will just be too much!
Good to hear though that compounded vetoryl may be...

So I just spoke to the vet regarding her ACTH results, and he suggests to take her off of vetoryl for now to avoid over suppression. And if anything restart her on a 2.5mg, but that's not even sold...

As to your previous email, I would love to take her to all the best specialists in town, but they cost a crazy amount of money. I asked at the hospital how much an internist who specializes in...

Just got the results back over email, haven't spoken to the doctor yet though. The Pre ACTH cortisol was 0.9 ug/dl, and the post was 4.6. Is she being over suppressed? That pre cortisol seems to be...

Then the August ALP=755, and in September it came down to completely normal 156. It's pretty mind blowing to me really! When we took her out of the hospital she had some pancreatitis going on, she...

Unfortunately I don't have the labs on hand from Jan of last year because we were just happy with what the vet said it was. I started asking for copies after the July episode. I can post the labs...

Hi Squirt's mom, I did check that specific forum, and it seems like there's only one post there from 2019, if i'm checking correctly. That's really unfortunate as I have a lot of questions about the...

Thank you all for responding. We took her in for another ACTH test today, so will have to wait until Monday to know the results.

I spoke to my vet again, and he doesn't seem to have any doubt...

Hi Lori, yes we are giving the Vetoryl with food every morning. I have visited the diabetes forum as well, is it active would you say? I noticed that a lot of the posts are from years ago and not...

Sure thing! I'm glad to answer any additional questions, and really grateful to you guys for being willing to dive deeper into each pets case. That's true love for animals right there! :o
As far as...

I have to say you're so lucky that your maltese was only diagnosed at 15 years of age! That's a long life! My maltese is 8 and she was diagnosed this summer with diabetes and cushings. She won't have...

Hi all! I have just come across this website and posting for the first time. Just wanted to hear what everyone is doing for their dogs with cushing's, and if anyone else has experience with battling...
