Dr. Bruyette, I just wanted to ask a follow-up question in response to your reply re: adrenal tumors. In those situations where surgery is not advisable (due to age, other complicating medical issues, etc.), do you have a preference as to medical treatment? We have been told that some specialists prefer Lysodren for treatment of adrenal Cushing's due to the drug's effect on the adrenal tissue (and possible tumor reduction). Do you have similar thoughts, or is trilostane your first option for adrenal Cushing's as well as pituitary?

Also, a second question...we have had a few members here who have treated their dogs with trilostane in a compounded liquid suspension. Often, these are wee ones for whom "standard" prepared doses have been inappropriate. Have you had experience with "liquid trilostane," and if so, do you have any hints to offer in that regard?

Thanks!
Marianne
