Over the last few days, Phoebe has declined significantly. She paces constantly until she's stopped. I find her staring at the wall or in a corner. Her confusion with water has increased; she's...

He's unaware of the decline in appetite and I will bring up her most recent behavior and see what he thinks about the possibility of macroadenoma when I speak with him. I also thought maybe we're...

So she's on day 8 of the Prozac and I'm concerned about her behavior. I don't know if these are normal side effects or not. She's pretty lethargic and her appetite is very reduced. Today she didn't...

I spoke at length with the vet night before last and he suggested we put her on a mood stabilizer since it seems to be mostly anxiety related. He remembered that she has a bad reaction to storms and...

Also, Allivet just bumped up the cost of Vetoryl by $20 for two boxes of the 30mg. Could someone point me to the thread about buying cushings meds online? I couldn't find a sticky or forum post for...

The spells of distress (panting, whining, pacing) continues, occurring about every two or three hours that I can tell. I recently set up a camera...

Her spells of distress (whining, panting, pacing) seemed to be getting better, but in the last couple of days have gotten worse. I am continuing the DMSO every other day or so, just on the couple of...

I brought Phoebe to the vet Friday 5/11/18 and explained what was going on. My perception was that the whining and pacing seemed to coincide with meal time, so he decided to try treating a possible...

So I'm not sure what is going on with Phoebe, but she's still uncomfortable. She whines occasionally and I can't find the source of the problem. The likely candidate is her back and the ongoing CC...

Oh could someone post the link to the information about the alternative to the ACTH stim test? I would like to forward it to my vet and see if he's willing to explore the option.

Thanks in...

Over the past few days, Phoebe had started whining and pacing for seemingly no reason. She was not favoring any body part or doing anything physically to...

Over the last few days, Phoebe has been pacing and panting and started whining like she's in pain. She's been doing this at various times, often in the middle of the night. I talked to my vet about...

Hi, Chulo's mom. I feel like I'm kind of in the same boat as you with the symptoms. My pitt was diagnosed with Cushing's just after her 13th birthday in February and we've just recently got her...

I spoke with the doctor today and he confirmed that her skin is healing nicely where the CC started, and that...

Thanks for the comments, Harley :)

I just spoke with her vet and the results of her last ACTH stim test are:

Pre: 2.1 (Range 2-6)

He is going to run these numbers by...

I am awaiting results from the most recent ACTH stim test, but I can tell that the CC has continued to grow along her back and there will be more hair that will come out before it's done. The vet...

So Phoebe went to the vet this morning to do her latest ACTH stim test and my husband picked her. He spoke with the doctor so this is all second hand info from what he can remember. He prescribed...

It has not. Although her thirst has subsided, she still frequently has accidents inside of both types. I'm bringing her in tomorrow for her next round of ACTH stim test and a blood panel to see...

I have her next ACTH stim test scheduled for next week. Her vet wanted to wait a full two weeks after changing her dosing to twice a day to see what her levels were at. The stool isn't loose...

We're still kind of in a holding pattern but I have a quick question.. Has anyone noticed an issue with poop urgency? There have been a few times where Phoebe is pacing and panting and then has to...

What is the dose that you give Chance?

I just realized I've been writing ACTH stem test, not ACTH stim test.

Duh

I talked with my vet again and he kinda talked me down from the ledge. He said that considering her cortisol levels the last time she had an ACTH stem test and her current symptoms, another ACTH...

Phoebe had a rough night last night. She was up pacing and panting twice last night (at least that I could hear and woke me up.) She went to the bathroom one time but not the other, so I don't know...
