<DIV>Pam,I keep this paragraph ready to paste into emails for anybody that asks
about Cushings because of the experience we had. I just want people to
be aware of the options so they can talk to their vet and make an informed
decision. Just ask about Trilostane as an option. Lots of drool for
the houndie and their humans.

<DIV><EM>Make sure you look into Trilostane for treatment. When our Rosie was
first diagnosed she was put on Lysodren. It used to be the only option for
cushings. 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. </EM><STRONG>Obviously discuss it with your vet</STRONG>
<EM>but we just wish we had known about Trilostane
soon</EM>er</DIV></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
