Bevd Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Emmy started her meds today and I immediately thought of Wallace and thought I'd see how he was doing. I'm glad he's doing so well. Funnily enough, I was just coming to find this thread to update after a call from the vet. The results are back from the ACTH Stimulation test and it seems that Wallace does have Cushings, although as yet, he's not showing the normal clinical signs (typical ). Helen (vet) is going to have a chat with Adam (referral centre) and will get back to me with the plan of action. What medication is Emmy taking?

TheFullHouse Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Emmy is on Trilostane. All the research I've done confirms the fact that it has fewer side effects than the other commonly used drugs. You should be able to get it easily there. Here in the states it's hard to come by. We have to get it all the way from New Jersey and because of that it's expensive $138.00 for 2 months. I don't care though if it makes Emmy better. Emmy like Wallace, didn't have all the normal clinical symptoms either which is why she was so hard to diagnose. Trilosane takes about a month to really be effective so we're on countdown now to see how long it takes to make Emmy feel better. I'll keep the boy in my prayers!

Bevd Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hmmm. I wonder if Wallace will be put on that. I was looking at this site earlier http://www.canine-cushings.co.uk/ and found it quite interesting so thought I'd share Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Bevd Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Oh I forgot to say the other day that we changed Wallace's current painkiller regime. He was having 2 x Tramadol, three times a day (for his neck pain/tremors issue) and that worked well but they wanted me to try to take it down so we went onto 1 x tramadol three times a day, plus 50g of Rimadyl twice a day. However, that doesn't work well enough because the tremors (therefore pain) came back. So now we've knocked out the Rimadyl and gone to 4 tramadol tabs per day and we'll see how we go with that over the next few days Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Bevd Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Almost four months on now, things have gone wrong. This morning, Wallace started drinking and weeing excessively. He also has rather loose stools. I've spoken to the vet about whether this is the start of active cushings symptoms and it probably is. We have an appointment for this afternoon but as the vet and I discussed on the phone a couple of hours ago - given Wallace's overall condition, would we want to offer treatment? I left it that we would take him in and have a chat but since then, he seems to be rather....I can't say distressed but not as I want him to be. We will still go to his appointment of course but my feeling is that it may be time to bring this to a close. There are three and a half hours to go till our appointment so no decision is yet final (and it could change 245543543 times between now and then). But I don't want him to suffer.
