  2. Re: Introduction- My new doggie has Cushing's :-(

    Ok, so after taking my pup in to the vet, they were able to tell me that he's about 9 years old, not 6. They took a urine sample, took blood, and did a fecal float and found everything to be in...

    Wow. That would be a relief! I have been look and staring at this pup every day. He just hasn't been in any discomfort. Every time people see him, they comment on how happy he looks. My...

    No. I typed out everything that was printed in the paperwork sent. :-(
  5. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    I am waiting for his insurance period to elapse so he can go to the doctor. I don't know what he has, but since he isn't on any medication and seems fine, I got him the same insurance my current pup...

    Oh, also... regarding his stools- I give him a mix of a little wet dog food 1-2 times per day (about 3 heaping tablespoons in total) mixed with his kibble. His stools are pretty normal. Sometimes,...
  8. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    Ok, I am so confused. Now that I've taken Rocky off the Vetoryl, I'm not sure what symptoms I should be looking for.

    He panted a little bit in the beginning, but he hardly ever does it at all. I...
  9. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    I took some pictures of Rocky's medical files. Maybe this might help with teying to figure out what's going on with Rocky. Now that he's completely off his meds, the only thing I see is excessive...
  10. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    Well,

    It has been three days since I took my doggy off the Vetoryl. He seems.... better. Weird. He has been holding his pee in, and the only accident he had was in his diaper. It had been 5...
  11. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    They did say that the heartworms were cleared up. But I do think I should stop giving him the Vetoryl, let him get settled, watch his diet, give him his regular walks, and observe over time his...
  12. Re: Re-testing my new pup for Cushings and correct dosage of Vetoryl

    Hi Glynda,

    Thanks for the thanks and the thoughts. I actually was thinking something along those lines as well. I spoke to the volunteer that spotted Rocky in the shelter. She said that Rocky...
  13. Re: Introduction- My new doggie has Cushing's :-(

    Ok, will do. I do keep his water fresh. I figured if water was important for Cush dogs, then I should refresh it every time I feel it gets a little cloudy from drinking after eating and stuff like...
  14. Re: Introduction- My new doggie has Cushing's :-(

    Oh- he also smacks his lips a lot. Is that common, or is my dog just.... special when it comes to lick smacking? I also have found that my other dog loves the smell (and taste) of Rocky's butthole. ...

  16. Introduction- My new doggie has Cushing's :-(

    I saw this dog on petfinder.com. He was at a kill shelter, and the volunteer working there put the word out about my dog. He was sick with heartworms. They were also very up front about the dog...
