So Rex’s disease is progressing. He’s been on trilostane for 1 1/2 years now. The Vet just titrated his dose up to 20 mg. Per day.

He’s having accidents in the house now. I’m hoping that...

Hello everyone! It’s been a bit over a year and I wanted to give you all a Rex update. He’s doing great!!

He will be 13 April 6 and is still stable and healthy at 10mg trilostane once daily. I...

OK....... I have an update and such good news to share! Rex is thriving on 10 mg Tristolane. His latest blood work shows that his liver enzymes are back in the low normal range, so are his...

You are giving me hope and confidence that I am doing my very best for my beloved, Rexie! He is our heart and such a part of our family! I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure his proper care and...

Thanks so much for all of this valuable information.

I have never given the Vitoryl without Rex eating a full meal. This is why it’s so difficult. I have pressure cooked unsalted chicken, rice,...

I gave the dose at breakfast for testing and since we have started Vetoryl. But I had an early morning meeting and could NOT get him to eat ..... but that’s typical of Rex...... he’s a weirdly...

So..... I’ve been thinking about what you just told me. I’m going to stop the Vetoryl completely through the weekend. He’s doing great, but there is no need to push this so hard, so fast. I will...

Hi Marianne,

I was mistaken about the 10mg dosage. The capsules were supplied in 10mg dosage and once I received them, the instructions read to start with 2 capsules once daily with full...

Thanks for the reply! I did not realize that his cortisol level could still go too low at this dose without an increase so thanks so much for sharing! I will be vigilant for signs of adverse...

Update on Rexie: He has been on 20 mg dosed once daily with his meal for the day. He started the tristolane 6 days ago. What a difference this medicine has made for all of us! He is sleeping all...

Wow! Great news to report. Rex is doing great! No issues with medicine and he only woke us up once to go potty last night! He seems to have more energy today and seems so happy and bright! I...

Oh thank you for your reply! I’m starting the medicine today! I will keep you both posted on his progress! Thank you for giving me hope and strength to make this important decision for Rex’s...

And thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I understand what you are saying. Rex’s Cushings diagnosis was caught early through routine bloodwork. I wanted to start the medicine while he’s...

Yes lol. I live in Wisconsin but I am a 3rd generation graduate of the University of Alabama ��❤️
