    Default Adrenal Dependent Cushings with secondary Diabetes: Squeaker needs a specialist!!!!

    Squeaker 15 yo chihuahua was found to have BORDERLINE Cushings assumed to be apituitary related but no treatment recommended. He had Patella and ACL surgery with BG 165..Everything went fine. Over months. weight loss unable to be ignored..4/26 diagnosed with full blown ADRENAL Dependent Cushings with mass on gland that extended to caudal ven cava. Adrenalectomy considered and plan discarded by DVM after reading CT Scan= too risky Squeaker ...started initial dose of Vetoryl at 3mg..then 6mg. now 10 mg at 6am and 3 mg at 6pm..Cortisol went from ??.9 in January and 44 on 4/26??. Cortisol vs Blood Glucose challenging to deal with .His spreadsheet has hour by hour real time care listed if interested..Thank for reading Oh, I just looked at the protocol that states. "do not give am Vetoryl before test???? DVM told me to give the Vetoryl 10 mg exactly 4 hours before the test???
