Meet Kaibo :) 9 y/o toy poodle - Myotonia, Diabetes, adrenalectomy; now PDH and CC

Thanks Sharlene! That's my cute boy. So happy all the time. Looks healthy, except for the thinning hair that's started recently. It's hard to wrap my head around this disease. Well I bit the bullet and gave him his first dose of Lysodren. Here we go.....

Good luck!! Fingers and paws crossed it all goes well for you and your wee cutie Kaibo

Kaibo is so cute!!!

Ok...Kaibo chewed his food today and took a slight bit longer to eat. It hasn't even been three days. Do I need to be concerned? He's only had 4 doses of the Lysodren. Otherwise nothing remarkable. He seems happy and healthy. He might be missing his sister a bit....

Thanks Belinda

Kaibo is a doll! I would call the vet and tell them that, that could be it. My Jenny (also a poodle loaded very fast with Lysodren!)

[kaibosmom]

Jenny is so sweet!!! How is she doing? How old was she when she was diagnosed? I have a call in to the vet

[kaibosmom]

So if she loaded quickly is her maintenance dose lower? I was trying to do some reading on that but i'm confused!

[StarDeb55]

Normally, the loading time does not alter the maintenance dose. Have you got an ACTH scheduled yet? If possible, you want that test about 48 hours after the last dose of lyso. Lyso is long acting, reaching its peak at about 48 hours. The test will tell the tale.

I have a call in to the vet. I did give him a dose this morning after he ate because I thought maybe I was looking into things or that my mind was playing tricks on me at 4:30 in the morning!
