Hi everyone, nice to find this message board. My 13 year old Maltese was recently diagnosed with Cushing's.

He had the blood test. I am sorry, I forget what the test is called. He was at the vet for a few hours and his levels were at 32, and the vet told me they should not be above 22... if I am remembering correctly.

She started him on Vetoryl at 10mg 2x a day. He weighs 20 pounds.

He took it for about 5 days and got very bad diarrhea. I took him off of it for 2 days. I put him back on, and he got diarrhea again almost immediately. I talked to the vet and she said to wait a few days then try again.

He does not show any other negative effects from the medication other than diarrhea. There is no blood in his stool.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance! Marie
