Hi Mom and welcome to you and Buddy!

Something many of us use to help with tummy upsets is Pepcid AC - be sure it is the AC form only - not time released, fast acting, etc, just plain Pepcid AC. Tagamet is another one used. Generic Pepcid AC is Famotidine; generic Tagamet is Cimetidine. Most stores have their own brands under the generic names that will save a few pennies. Do call your vet tho and let them know how the Trilostane (Vetoryl) is affecting sweet Buddy.

If you don't have them, get copies of the actual tests results so far and post them here in Buddy's thread. That will help us, help you.

We are a Lysodren (MItotane) house so I will let our Trilo parents talk to you about that. But I will tell you that any time the diagnostic tests for Cushing's are given while another illness is present, it makes the diagnosis suspect because so many things can cause the tests to give false-positives and share the same signs as Cushing's. Also, Cushing's does not come on suddenly....it is a very slowly progressing condition. So seeing all those tests done before starting treatment will be beneficial. Also, the more detail you can tell us about Buddy the better. We LOVE details! See all the questions that follow?

Is he having any issues with his vision?

Is he neutered?

Does he have any other health issues that you are aware of?

Is he on any other meds, supplements, herbs, etc? If so, what?

How is his appetite?

Any loose stools or diarrhea since starting the Trilo?

What signs were you seeing before the diagnosis and have they lessened, gotten stronger or are they about the same since starting treatment?

Here is a link to our Helpful Resources section that will give you a lot of info on Trilostane (Vetoryl) - http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185

I'm glad you found us and want you to know it is always safe to cry, or talk, share your fears and hopes, even scream here. You and Buddy have a new family now and we will be with you every step of the way. Keep your chin up and keep reading and talking to us. I'm very glad you and Buddy are here!

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
