so to summarize Blue's visit with the doctor....he was diagnosed with cushings.
He had substantial weight gain since oct 2017 at 98 lbs -he's close to 110 lbs now. His appetite is so ravenous, polyphagia, excessive thirst and urination, polyuria/polydipsia, he hasn't grown his hair back from his ultrasound last summer, alopecia, and now the scabbing, thickening calluses on his elbows, and skin bumps on his back, calcinosis cutis. (not to mention his "mopey, sad, lazy, crotchety, old man " mood/behavior as I like to call it.)
His lddst test run last summer was indicative of Cushings, and I did ask about his baseline and she said "4" so ...but...the ultrasound ruled out adrenal tumors, making it more likely pituitary dependent cushings.
She would like to start him on Vetoryl, but is awaiting results of his thyroid function test and serum chemistry and urinalysis to determine the best treatment plan.
so...i'll keep you posted, thanks so much. I sincerely hope its smooth sailing on this medication. after a month, they said they will blood test him to see how he's doing on it. do you think that would sound about right then? thanks!
