Hi LuLu's Mom,
Thank you so much for answering my questions! I do not know the meaning of measuring the water intake. It is what my "new" Vet asked me to do and he is away until Monday so I can't...
Hi Marianne,
I will read your link. Thank you for sending it to me!
I have read in a few places that if you put a dog on Vetoryl and they do not really have Cushing's it can do much harm.

Hi All,
We finally got an LDDS that Duffy's cardiologist Vet recommended in July when his heart was ok and he had signs of severe panting and increased thirst etc. My old Vet gave me the ACTH...
John,
He just had a ultrasound last month for severe diarrhea and they diagnosed IBD slight small intestine thickening. He was put on Hills z/d and it has stopped.
The results read the liver...
Thanks Kellie. I did more research and Wellness has a brand in their Line called "Simple - Salmon and Potatoes". It is for skin/stomach issues. I read the reviews on Chewy.com. There were about 200....
Hi All,
We went to the new Vet recommended to me by my Vet specialist. Blood work taken this week shows Duffy's ALKP jumped all the way to 1,346. (His liver biopsy done in the fall 2018 did not...
Thanks Joan! Glad to hear that Hills W/D is working good for you. I will say it did stop the diarrhea but I would rather find something else if I can as the ingredients in Z/D are not good in my...

One more question:
I understand how a UTI can cause the excessive urinating but would a UTI cause the excessive drinking?
Thanks!

They took a urine test by Cystocentesis. The IDEXX SDMA came back normal at 7. Here is what the rest of...
Thanks John. I made an appointment for Thursday night with a new Vet. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what is going on.
Hi All,
I am new here and trying to seek out some help.
My dogs liver ALT and ALKP have always fluctuated all of his life. His liver biopsy did not show anything conclusive and they do not...
Thank you Marianne. Yes, he exhibits excessive hunger to the point of crying when it is time to eat and gulps it down and looks for more. He has a slight pot belly and always seeking out cool spots....
Hi Marianne,
I am totally confused at this point. From everything i have read online and on this site (such as what you posted) the 1st cortisol level is supposed to be lower than the second...
Thank you Marianne. I am suspicious as they changed the name of the lab work from another patients name to mine so what you are saying may be exactly right. I am not even sure they have the correct...
Hi All,
My 10 year old Havanese has some of the symptoms of Cushing's. Heavy panting, exercise intolerance (he use to walk with me two miles up to a few months ago) now he can barely do 1/3...
