Looks like Shab has Cushings


 Share

Recommended Posts

Well it looks like my girl has Cushings disease. Shab had her yearly vet appointment ( a month early ) a couple of weeks ago due to a suspected UTI and I also got them to run a CBC as she needs 4 teeth removed.  She does have a UTI and we were given AB's but they phoned with the blood results and her Liver enzymes were elevated. We had a day at the Specialist on Friday where they did an ultrasound which has shown bilaterally enlarged adrenals - he said everything else in there looked ok, which agreed with the blood results as well.  He also did an ACTH test which we are waiting on results for. Just wondering if anyone can advise which way is the best to get Trilostane ( if that is what the IMS recommends going forward ) - should I get the local compound chemist to make it up for me, can it be purchased with a script from any chemist or should I just get my vet to provide?. Has anyone got any thoughts on treatment?  At the moment all the symptoms she is showing are : very slight increase in water intake -  urinating ( which seems back to normal now)  and her appetite has increased a little too. She is a bit wonky in the rear end and is sleeping more. Shab is 13 years old and I know that I'm not likely to have her for more than a couple of years more but I need to do what's best for her and I don't want her to suffer.  Just looking for others experience with treatment and how it went for them.  I'm not ready to say goodbye to another one yet.
