Orlando's tests came back today indicative of a pituitary tumor which is the cause of the Cushings. I did expect this. In a conversation with my vet yesterday, she said that I had a choice of Vetoryl or herbals to start. We ruled out Lysodren because, as she said, "it wiped out your other dog" which was completely true. She was the junior vet in 2000 when Frankie was dxed and treated and remembered his case. While I have not spoken to her in depth yet, it seemed that she felt I should use either Vetoryl or an herbal. When I did some research, it seemed as if the use of both simultaneously could administer too much of the medication. I wondered if you had this same opinion. I also found a few herbal products online and wondered if anyone had used them. They were Adrenal Harmony Gold, Primalix CortiQuel, and a few separately mentioned herbs like si miao san and ginkgo.
