They do,but the increased liver values are always there after a dog becomes Cushingoid, because of the increased level overall of circulating steroid hormones. Vomiting water is no bueno. Call your vet.

That would be highly unusually for liver values to drop to normal after having been high. If he never did an ACTH stim, an LDDS test or sent you for an ultrasound, he might be correct. It could have been a fluke or related to something else. But now, if her kidney values are elevated, she could...

Trilostane is the generic name of Vetoryl, which may be what the assistant was talking about. Hope you get some answers.
