Hi folks. Our whippet Mia was diagnosed with Cushing's in Feb 2021. She was put on 10mg Vetoryl a day and we have had her cortisol levels measured every month since. The two times the Vet called in at the house her levels came back at 90. The rest of the time they have been 150 to 230. She has the distinctive pot belly, and until recently the typical thirst and hunger. Over recent weeks her thirst has diminished. She is at 60mg Vetoryl now given morning and evening. No change in her levels or the belly and now her skin is appearing thin, flaky, and her coat is thining. Her nails are chalky too. As she doesn't enjoy her walks she has put on a stupid amount of weight, although she was chubby following being spayed in 2020. Mia is 9. I am about to talk thru the benefits of keeping Mia on Vetoryl today. She is no better and the good parts of her body are showing the side effects of this strong drug. Since being Cushingoid Mia has developed a slightly enlarged heart and murmur. We have her on a crazy amount of meds for a little whippet! My question is: has anyone had experience of slowly withdrawing from Vetoryl and found a benefit from doing this? 18 months in and Mia is worse than she was at the beginning and we are def financially worse too! That wouldn't matter if she were improving but as she hasn't what's the point? Are we compromising for the sake of treating her with something??? She weighs a crazy 19kg. Our previous boy had the same condition for 15 months before passing due to a stroke. Cushing's stinks! Thanks. x
