Re: Advise or experience re treating a senior with cushings (Sheila) 11-12 y/o yellow
Hi and Welcome,
Boy that is a hard question. My Zoe has colitis/IBD. It was controlled when we started her Vetoryl treatment. We started her at a very low dose, 10mgs. She weighed at the time 18 pounds. She still flared for a few days and had runny poops. Because you had more than one thing happen, you don't know cause and effect.
What did your vet say?
If you could give us more info, tests done, results, pups weight, Vetoryl dose given, any history of stool issues?
Others will be along soon to chime in. Im so glad you found us. Cushings is a very hard disease to diagnosis. The drugs used help elevate symptoms. Treatment can also uncover issues the high cortisol was masking. In some cases, the dog is self medicating. It is a balance we all weigh and it really helps to have a very experienced specialist to help sort things out. Sometimes that is easier said then done
The good thing, is you are not alone in your journey anymore.
love,
addy, zoe and koko
