Re: good vet for Cushing's dog in Dallas area
Hello and welcome to the forum. The best option is for the vet to check, maybe by a biopsy of one of the pus filled areas and find out exactly what it is, then you'll know best how to treat it, whether it is calicinois cutis or an infection that needs anitibiotics. CC often ends up getting infected too and if that Is what it is, then only bringing the cortisol down will help it.
I agree, every other day dosing is like putting their bodies on a rollercoater ride, up and down and up and down. What you really want is a steady cortisol level.
As for the legs, often when cortisol starts to come down, things like arthritis can be uncovered (the higher cortisol tends to mask it) Are you giving supplements like glucosomine, etc to help with that?
Glad you found us
