Thank you all for your heartfelt thoughts. We miss Bailey terribly but my only solace is that she is no longer suffering. I picked up her ashes/urn today. Was difficult but made it through it.

Glad to hear that Panda is doing well on 10mg! May I ask the reason for the Melatonin? Is it to help with sleep? Our girl is also on 10mg of Trilostane but she sleeps well at night without getting...
Hi Renee,
Thank you for responding regarding the dosing and the testing. I agree. I am very frustrated with the vet. I gave a detailed explanation to Sharlene in a previous post today about dosing...
Sharlene,
Basically, the answer to your question is Yes.
I requested a urinalysis be done after Bailey had a couple pee accidents. When I wiped it up I noticed that it smelled like pee which...
Hi Sharlene and all,
My vet wants me to increase Bailey's Trilostane from 10mg to 20mg once daily without a 30 day Stim test or additional testing other than the urinalysis results from April 8...

Hi and welcome to you and Toby,
I am also a newbie to this whole Cushing's disease (as of late February).
If you decide to treat Toby with Trilostane/Vetoryl, I would most definitely start with...
Hi Sharlene and all,
I went into the office to pick up Bailey's prescriptions for Trilostane and Thyrosyn so that I could research where to get her meds at instead of the vets office which are too...
Bailey's first ACTH Stim test cost $180 but Cortisone injection was $250 = $430. Her subsequent ACTH Stim test cost $180 but Cortisyn injection was only $50 due to the vet being able to use less of...
Sharlene,
Ya, I couldn't go a year either! I don't know what she is thinking unless I misinterpreted her and she only meant other blood work, but I think that is important also. I will be...
Oh! I see the Quote button and the message with a "Quote" now! Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Marianne, Thank you for the explanation of the pre/post figures. That helps to ease my mind. I will definitely request another ACTH test at the end of 30 days to see if her cortisol...
Hi Lori and all,
I just read on another person's post that if the post numbers on an ACTH test are lower than the pre numbers that it could be that the adrenal glands can't produce reserve...
Thanks Sharlene!
With the post ACTH reading of 8.4 which is less than Bailey's pre of 9.2, does that mean that after they give her the Cortisol injection that the Trilostane pill is working...
