I did research and read that this was a rare side effect in some dogs. My vet, however, had never heard of it. I cut her dose way back, and the symptoms went away! Back to her full beautiful black coat! (thank goodness!)
Her current dose is so low (at one 60 mg tab twice a week!!) in order to keep the reaction from coming back, but amazingly her Cortisol levels and ALP have been normal. Her symptoms, however, are just as bad as always with the panting and water drinking.
Has anyone else had this problem?????
Thanks!
