after the first capsules of vetoryl he became lame and his right wrist was 2x as big as before. he was in pain, because the vetoryl unmasked his underlying arthritis. he was a bordercollie and has worked with sheep and cows, so his joints were not 100% anymore. he had all the symptoms of cushing's including the rare ones. no treatment meant going downhill very fast and i had to let him go. if your dog is tolerating vetoryl fine, i won't stop the treatment unless your dog shows signs of joint inflammation too and is in pain. your dog is already 14/15 years old and you can try out how he is doing without the vetoryl if his arthritis is bothering him. quality of life should be our nr. 1 priority.
