Re: Is it cushings or not with our blue
I just want to reinforce something Marianne posted -
...hypocortisolism can be dangerous
By "dangerous" that means up to and including death. High cortisol (hypercortisolism or Cushing's) is rarely life threatening. Low cortisol (hypocortisolism or Addison's) IS life threatening. If you see any of the following you cannot wait - you must stop the med and call the vet asap. If it is after hours, contact the closest ER.
loss of appetite
nausea / vomiting
loose stool / diarrhea
lethargy
If you see any of the above you must act quickly. So do keep a very close eye on him especially over the next few weeks since he is out in wild waters with his vet's approach to treatment.
Hugs,
Leslie
