Hi and welcome to you and Rolo!

Rolo is such a beatiful boy! I am so sorry for the circumstances that brought you here but very glad you found us.

I was wondering if you could tell us more about your boy, such as his weight, and besides the Vetoryl, is he on any other medicines/herbs/supplements?

How was his pancreatitis confirmed? Did he have a cPL test done? The cPL test result is specific for the lipase enzyme for the pancreas.

Another question I have is, was the testing that was done for Cushing's performed while Rolo was having pancreatitis? The reason I ask this is because all Cushing tests can create false positives when a non-adrenal illness is present.

According to Dechra's Product Insert; an ACTH stimulation test should be done 10-14 days after any dose adjustment. Also for the ACTH test to be accurate for monitoring it must be done 4-6 hours after the dose of Vetoryl. Were these protocols followed? Could you post all test/s that were done, this would help us to provide you with more meaningful feedback.

Pancreatitis is a serious illness but it can be managed. My boy, Harley, had pancreatitis too. Liver enzymes will usually be elevated when a dog has pancreatitis, even the high cortisol from Cushing's will elevate the liver enzymes.

Please know we will help in any way we can so do not hesitate to ask any and all questions.

Love and hugs,
Lori
