<DIV>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. </DIV>
