Hi Joan! Indeed you were lucky. Suni has been an angel taking meds all her life up until the past year when she had to take so many. She just plain got fed up with it
and drew the line in the...

I like the liquid idea better for a few reasons. Suni has taken so much medicine the past year that she is beginning to be a pain giving pills. She always, before, would take anything I gave her,...

Oh my word!! you two are the most informative folks I have the honor of knowing!! This information is so valuable for me to sort through. If we indeed do decide to go forward with treatment, I do...

Leslie, you bring me to a question I want to ask and have put off for obvious reasons. What is your opinion of using Lysodren rather than vetoryl? Would it be
easier on Suni? Is the loading phase...

So, if I start Suni on Vetoryl, would the 5 mgs be considered a low dose for her? 12 Pounds? My head is spinning!! Thanks guys. I will make if with y'all's help!!

So Vetoryl is more effective than Trilostane? For some reason, my low IQ thought they were the same.

Thank you so much for the links Marianne, and I will most definitely dive in reading and studying them. I plan on knowing a lot more when we start treatment than I do right now, thanks to you and the...

Update on Suni. I caved, and did exactly what I said I wouldn't do. She has been diagnosed with pituitary cushings. We will start Trilostane treatment in a couple weeks or so. She just spent 4...

So the valium would not affect her test results if taken after I collect the samples. And hoping the samples would be stable enough for testing? I am wondering about other meds she takes. Will have...

Thanks, y'all! Yes, she is going to do both the uc:cr and ultrasound, at least. I will give Suni some valium for the trip as it won't affect either of those tests and maybe she can travel better....

Quick update on Suni. The vet wants to do a UC:CR test and a thorough ultrasound to take a good look at the adrenals, hoping to get the answer one way or the other. We are still contemplating what...

Thank you, Marianne for understanding more of where I am coming from. Like I said, this is not a spur of the moment decision, and it has caused me a lot of anguish to arrive at where I am now. I...

Thank you Marianne for responding.

Symptoms: She has them all full blown! Pot belly, panting, heat sensitivity, excessive drinking, overweight, enlarged liver, high liver enzymes, anxiety and...

Good day all. Hope you are having an enjoyable sunshiny Sunday. Well, here at least!
I have something Iam going to throw out to y'all for debate, be it negative or positive, I value your knowledge...

I am so sorry girls, I am just now getting back here. Life stinks sometime and certainly gets in the way!!!
Suni is doing better with her stomach issue. I did contact the vet and she said she...

I started my 12 pound poodle, Suni, on Adequan injections a week and half ago to try and strengthen the cartilage in her trachea. She has had a total of three injections. This morning her appetite...

Just popping in to see how everyone is doing and report that Suni is doing so much better. Appetite has slowed, lost a few ounces, drinking near normal and she is more active. Still her sassy self....

Yes it is, Joan especially with the one who is so attached.

It has been a better day. Suni is coping with and without her collar really well. As long as she gets food, she is a happy camper! Incision looks great and the doc said in about 10 days it would be...

Suni is home, doing well and acting like nothing is wrong. Bless her heart, she looks pitiful but I am not going to tell her. She's still beautiful to me!
Came home with pain meds and some...

As of 4:30 this afternoon she was awake off and on, pain meds taking care of pain and making her rest. She made it through surgery just fine (they said). Going after her in the morning. Mandi is...

Well, this is it! Tomorrow my sweetheart will have only one big black adoring eye. I am so sad, but just pray all her other issues can handle the surgery alright. Prayers would be so very much...

You know best my dear!

I will certainly keep you updated and will reach for your hand to hold when she has her surgery the 9th of September.

Marianne, if you need to move my post to another topic since cushings isn't at the forefront any longer, please feel free to do so. I realize she could still have, and probably does, cushings, but...

She has been diagnosed with tracheal collapse. The trachea is collapsing worse at the bottom according to the x-rays. Yes, you are correct Marianne. She has had trachea issues for several years...
