Update on Rosie....The changes in her medications have made a big difference in her appetite and I believe she is gaining some weight. However she continues to drink and pant excessively. I'm not...
Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I've tried shaking the parmesan cheese over her food and she seems to like that. I talked to the vet and he decided to do a blood test to see if anything...
Thanks....I'll try some of those things. The first thing she does is smell the food so I think something smelly might get her more interested in eating. I really don't think the vetoryl is causing...
Thanks for your suggestions. I haven't weighed her recently but her weight has usually been just under 60 lb. Lately however I think she has lost some weight since she hasn't been eating as much. ...
I was able to check online and her pre test result was 1.6 ug/dl and her post test result was 1.8 ug/dl. She has been on a dose of 60 mg twice a day and he said to lower it to a dose of 60 mg and a...
Thanks for your sensitive response. The results of her ACTH showed that the cortisol level had gone too low so we are decreasing the dosage on her vetoryl. So I will be waiting a couple of weeks to...
Again it has been a long time since I have been on this thread but I wanted to update what's going on with my Rosie. Her last ACTH test was good so she has stayed on the same dose of vetoryl for...
I'm pleased to report that I was able to get Rosie's prescription changed and the two boxes of 60 mg each month is much less expensive than the four boxes. My cost is now less than $200. a month. ...
Rosie is actually taking two 30 mg and one 10 mg. twice a day. Maybe it would be less expensive to get the 60 mg. capsules instead of the 30 mg. I will check into it and see if my vet will change...
Thanks for all the suggestions....I plan to do some research!:)
I know it's been a long time since I have been active on this site but I am struggling right now with the cost of medication for my Rosie. She was diagnosed with cushings last year in June and after...
I know it's been a long time since I posted anything but wanted to finally report that Rosie is now on the right dosage of vetoryl (60 mg twice a day) and seems to be doing much better. We are still...
Thanks for your response Leslie. Rosie has not had an abdominal ultrasound but I will ask my vet about that. She did have the LDDS when she was diagnosed back in June at my former vets office. I...
Thanks for sharing....I had hoped that the vetoryl would would change things for us as well. Rosie doesn't have the huge appetite ( in fact sometimes I have to put treats on her food just to get her...
Today I got the results of her recent tests on August 13 with my new vet. From what I can tell everything was in the normal range on her blood test and urinalysis. Her thyroid results were in the...
Yes she had a urine test done recently and does not have a UTI. I believe the cushings is the cause but the vetoryl is not helping so far. I will be talking to her vet tomorrow to find out what our...
I will try to get the results of the many tests she has had in the last few months. I was actually the one who suspected Cushings after my own research online. Her main symptoms were the excessive...
I will need to get a copy of the ACTH Stim tests....she has had several and the dosage of vetoryl has been increased gradually to 40 mg twice a day. She weighs 60lbs so this seems like a pretty...
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to handle the excessive panting during the night. My dog, Rosie, has been on vetoryl for cushings for about three months now. The vet has increased...
