[Dailydrool] cushings treatment

[Ffrogger at aol.com]

If the diagnosis does turn out to  be Cushings, make sure you look  into 
Trilostane for treatment. When Rosie was first diagnosed she was put on  
Lysodren. That is the drug they also use in humans who have inoperable adrenal  
cancer. It has a lot of side effects and is a lot more  toxic. We almost lost 
Rosie due to the side effects and it didn't  really control the Cushings.  
Trilostane works in a different way, it  sort of just blocks how the 
steroids are processed by the body. It is much less  toxic with fewer side effects. 
And...best of all it also worked much better for  Rosie. It controlled her 
symptoms, she was much more active and was better than  she had been in 
years. Obviously discuss it with your vet but we just wish we  had known about 
Trilostane sooner.
