Re: Boston Terrier in Phoenix
Oh My Gosh I can't believe these numbers.
ACTH Pre 6
ACTH Post 19!
That explains why her eating and drinking have been off the charts ( and so is her output ). Looking back, I think her eating increased about a week before I really acknowledged it … I'll need to be more observant.
Her last day of her original 15 day Lysodren induction was last Dec 31, so I am guessing that long half life carried her thru Jan, and then in Feb she creeped up.
I buy the Lysodren at Walgreens ( not compound pharmacy ) and I have been giving it with fat, we've never missed a dose.
Her new Lysodren dose is to be 250mg twice a week and 125mg once a week for a total weekly dose of 625mg. Does any body else take that high of dose? The vet says maybe we can decrease it to 500mg/week after a few weeks depending on response.
