WEll, she actually is feeling much better....much as I hate to admit it. She's still very shaky on her old legs but she's been playing in the mornings, trying to get the cats and chickens to play with her. We have had her on the Hill's Science Diet Active Senior food which is what he told us...

Ok. thanks.

In doing research I read that cortisol levels can fluctuate a lot in Cushing's, making it hard to diagnose. She is not any better. Vomiting water. Gee, no wonder. Her hypersensitivity in her skin is gone, probably thanks to the cortisone injection, but since we see no evidence of fleas, I'm...

So this is just flipping maddening. We went in, he does bloodwork, and NOW he says that her blood count is almost perfect, except that she is a little anemic. He attributes that to fleas, we have had a bad flea season this year..everyone has. But she has hypersensitive skin even when she...

he agreed with you the Veteryl would be the best, and it might do a lot for her, but he thought she would still need to be on Proin, and that's an issue with her. Also, he said that if she is that weak in the hindquarters, it might not be worth it. He won't do anything without seeing her again...

Good, I hope so. He didn't call today, but it was his first day back and I was in a seminar all day, which he knew. I hope to talk to him tomorrow.

The nurse is in today and she said he wrote in the chart "may want to start Veterole" in September of last year. probably he told me we may want to start it, but lets see how she does, or words to that effect. The nurse was not familiar with any of the meds you suggested and said they don't...

That is really strange. Because in the past re treatment of any animal he's always given us the options of treatment, the approximation as to cost, his personal recommendation, and let us make the decision. He's been around forever and we've taken Java (our dog) to him since she was a puppy. A...

I just am reluctant to get into a lot of testing. My daughter did that with her cat. And she lives in a bigger city. What happened was she ended up spending hundreds of dollars, on tests, at different vets, and the bottom line was, they didn't know what was wrong with her. And it was...

There's only one vet in the office, and the other substitute vet, idk, maybe they don't want to step on toes. I'm not sure that whatever new meds they might describe would stop the muscle atrophy, would it? And that's a real big problem for her, too. She is getting so atrophied in her hind...

Ok, thank you, I had pretty much decided to just wait til he comes back. Due back the 14th, and in this cool nice weather, she's doing ok, for the most part, though she sleeps most of the time. Did howl all night last night. Do you think it's ok if we give her Five Flower most nights before...

I don't know. Every time she came in for anything, which wasn't too often, he'd ask me if she was drinking a lot of water yet. Which she wasn't. She didn't start doing that until a couple of months ago. Her itching stopped and the drinking started. And he was having us treat the itching with...

WEll, that's weird. She might not have been that young, I can't really remember...but he's been telling us she has Cushing's disease for several years. And I know he did bloodwork. She has had a LOT of health issues so it's hard to keep everything straight. But she has had the skin problems...

I know she was positively diagnosed....when she was very young. I don't remember that he ever said what kind she has. Maybe he doesn't know, because I do know it was never referred to a specialist. I talked to the vet staff this morning. They didn't recognize either med you mentioned, though...

Thanks, I will see if I can ask his staff and maybe they can get a prescription for her. The vet himself is on vacation for two weeks, on a cruise, left yesterday morning, so I can't consult with him at all! His backup has never seen our dog. I saw something on line about Adrenal Gold, an...

Thank you. :s Your situation sounded horrible too. Sorry for your loss.

No, he didn't, but the Proin wasn't really working for her very well anymore anyway. I had started her just one once in a while, then up to every day, then twice a day, and that's when it started to upset her. And she was still incontinent, so.... the vet just has a sort of well, this is...

Our German Shepherd/ Chow/ Rottweiler mix breed dog is 14 years old and was diagnosed with Cushing's at a very young age. She has dealt with it ok all these years, but now it's catching up to her. A few years ago we had to take her off Proin,(PPA) which she was taking for incontinence...
