  1. Hopefully everything will go well Amanda. My friends over in Mesa have a dog that had VF & she did very well. And I'm walking proof that VF is treatable. I had the disease in 2000. I do agree that the treatment stinks. Makes you feel terrible. Sending hugs..........

  2. I also recommend the ACTH stimulation test to confirm Cushings. My nearly 15 year GH has Cushings & is currently doing very well on Mitotane. Things will never be exactly normal again, but it is a treatable disease. The initial induction therapy with Mitotane can be a little scary. Be sure your Vet is in close contact with you & you'll do fine. Nevada had all the symptoms you described & did have hair loss. Her hair is now back, but seems heavier than before. She still looks for cool places, but here in AZ we all do that during the summer. :lol Good luck to you. PM me if you'd like to.......Carol

  3. Wow! Although it's difficult to watch, I find it very hopeful. Alan still seems interested in his world & seems to be motivated. I think that he looks remarkably good. He just needs time to figure things out & get back to a normal home routine. Remember, this is all confusing to him. Hang in there...........by the way your DH looks to be a great therapist!
