Haley is how I found this site. My vet at the time was clueless and she would have surely died if I had followed her lysodren protocol. This site saved her life and gave us several more years...
Haley, my cuddly one - you are still loved and missed. Hugs, Mom
My first visit back in many years - had to find this tribute and tell Annie "Hi sweetie, I love you". Thanks for keeping this part of the forum active. Kim
Waving wildly back! Hugs sent too!
Awesome!:)
I've been to a few games as our arena is spectacular. We are very excited to have the Mayor in town! Hoping he can get us our first NCAA tournament win EVER - only top school to never win. No...
I retired 3 years ago! Am loving it - other than healthcare which is a challenge since I'm 61. I'm headed to Baltimore tomorrow for a college reunion with the girlfriends. Oh yes - I bet you do...
It was awesome to hear about the reunion! I was an active member for many years - this board helped me save my little Haley from a vet that was clueless on how to test for cushings and administer...
Seizures are common in Cush dogs. If they increase in frequency and length I would talk to the vet but otherwise carry on.
Re the next step re dosing - it depends on the acth results so please...
I too would like to know if an ultrasound was done to rule out an adrenal tumor. Thank you, Kim
I am just catching up and in shock at the last 2 days. Addy my heart is also broken as your sweet Zoe was a part of our family for so many years. We share in your loss and our tears are out of pure...
John, this is so sad. Thanks for sharing your sweet baby with us. Run free of pain dear Rozee. Kim
One more little tidbit - when in doubt don't give the lysodren because it keeps working for 48 hours. Kim

I agree with everything posted, particularly about using prednisone and lysodren together. You would still need to get the rx filled because you MUST have it on hand to give in case of...
Compounding is done for small dogs who cannot tolerate the doses pills come in (need pills compounded into smaller doses). Please find out what dose your vet is considering and post that and your...
I was out all day so am glad the others chimed in. I know you aren't familiar with us and we are just internet folks but please trust me we have been welcoming people in your situation for decades...
Erika, I have to be out today but wanted to get back to you just to let you know that while those symptoms sound just awful I feel Annie's quality of life was quite good despite. Otherwise I would...
Annie is the one in the background. Haley is in the front. Haley had cushings and that's how i found this group over 8 yrs ago! Sigh.. I understand over thinking things. :) Hang in there.

I would go to the specialist and take the test results and ultrasound findings with me. The low dose dex suppression test (LDDS) that your vet did is a very good test except it can have false...
Annie's symptoms included lethargy at times but the ones that were most noticeable were full body shaking (like shivering) - it came and went. I now know it was because the tumor was active (they...
I hate to alarm you but the diarrhea is a sign of overdose. Since you just started it ,it could be something else but you shouldn't give vet oryx to a sick dog......so you need to cease giving it til...
I am so sorry. You gave dear Zoe much love and know you did all you could. We will honor here always. Run free of pain our newest angel. Kim
Hello! My Annie had a pheo tumor as well. I am interested in knowing location and size... We have seen before where huge wasn't really huge.
My story is different than Trishs because 4 yrs ago...
Hi and welcome. I think Marianne is onto something as my dog was misdiagnosed as having cushing . She had false positives onlike 7 tests! Your dog has all the symptoms my dog did.
