  1. Re: Kirby, Boston Terrier with PDH on Trilostane (Kirby has passed)

    Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. Those of you who have lost a furkid will know how hard it is for a little while after they go on. I just couldn't write about it. I still call his name every...
  2. Re: Kirby, Boston Terrier with PDH on Trilostane

    Kirby's previous ACTH results at 10mg were Pre 2.6 and Post: 4.6. That was 3 months ago. The vet said that was perfect so he has continued on 10mg since but has lost another lb in...
  3. Re: Kirby, Boston Terrier with PDH on Trilostane

    Thank you so much, Lesley and Marianne. Kirby enjoyed the extra hugs. He just loves to be cuddled and nestles in with a big, contented sigh :)
    My country vet is as inexperienced as I with Cushings...
  4. Re: Kirby, Boston Terrier with PDH on Trilostane

    Hi again,

    We settled on the belly band type "diapers" from Drs Foster and Smith because I couldn't get him to use the pads no matter what I tried. But he pees such volume he soaks through several...

    Thanks, Lori and Lesley,

    Those are some good suggestions I hadn't thought of. We'll give these suggestions a try and I'll report back in case it can help someone else.

    Dear Terri,

    Re: 11 Year Old Boston with cushings

    I'm so sorry to hear about all the frustration you have been through with Chloe. I was so blessed that my general vet (there is no IMS on my side of this rural Hawaiian outer island) guessed Cushings...
