    Default Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's

    Thank you Barabra, I know you are worried about Trixie too and Patti, you are not alone in aging from this- I cant believe I how look compared to 2 years ago

    I did 30/10 last night and I will continue that for a week to assess how she is. I keep thinking about Dr. Peterson's statements about a dog at 2ug/dl that has been on the drug for a long time. Then I think about some member's vets talking about the adrenal glands and why they felt once day dosing was better. I need to find those threads to reread. Sharon and Norman was one and there was another study as well and a discussion about it.

    Since I am seeing what I will assume are side effects from the drug as is sound like some of our other pups are having some of these issues unless she has a macro causing neuro problems my main goal is to keep Zoe with a quality of life, which has always been my goal.

    Zoe has had a good quality of life all and all even through the dark days after her surgery when everything went to heck even though her numbers were 4 ug/dl. I gave up chasing numbers as her GP always advised me. I miss him, he was such a good sounding board when I would get overwhelmed. He trained at U.C. Davis and worked with Feldman too. Now I have no GP at all and two specialists with totally different approaches.

    I have brought my baby this far and I pray I can keep making the right decisions for her.

    Sorry, did not mean to get so serious, I have headache, too much Chinese food last night
