My dog was diagnosed with cushings 10 years ago. Don’t panic like I did. I put him on vetoryl compounded by diamondback drugs in Arizona. Much cheaper and easier. A few year ago I brought dose down to once a day. He has been off medicine totally about 5 months and doing fine. Taking him for blood work this week to make sure. He is 13 years old.
Thanks
Hi we have a 12 year old Staffy that was diagnosed 12 months ago and the vet put her on the most powerful medicine available at huge cost .It was like a chemo drug .I cant remember the name but it made her a zombie and she slept 24 hours a day .I read that she could cause addisons disease and that would kill her quicker.I immediately took her off and went and saw the vet and he agreed.She drinks copius amounts of water eats a lot but doesn't pee all the time like she was and overall is 500% better off the heavy meds than she was on them . she doesnt shake any more either .She loves a walk in the park and still gets really exited when you mention the word ''walk' but lets be honest she is getting old an one day will die but i dont expect even with cushings that be any time soon .......but had we left her on the other drugs she would have been dead in 3 months ! I suggest you watch and monitor and make them as comfortable as possible because i can really say its a minefield and even the Vets cant say for sure (black or white ) what you should do as its trail and error but i say again watch those chemo drugs and dont keep giving them where you dog is becoming a zombie as they are killing the dog .
Wow good to know
My dog is 10 years looks like she has Cushing
Going for a test on Friday 4/13/18
