Ugh. my 14 year old basset-border mix was diagnosed Cushing's, started on trilostane, to which she proved SUPER SENSITIVE (although the initial results were great), stopped, cut dose in half, stopped, tried dose cut over half again...ADDISON'S! Many such cases. Now I'm waiting for the script for Florinef and pred to get filled. Hopefully we can get her eating again. What an expensive pain in the rear end. I think the most difficult part was talking with 4 different vets through the process, the two practice partners and two locums, so getting a consistent story and treatment plan was difficult. That said, asking the clinicians around work led to just as wide of a variation of reactions, from "not my area thank god" to "its really hard to diagnose Cushings because it looks like everything!" Just a rant. Here's the cutie in question.
