MarcR Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Claudia, I haven't been online much the last several days, so I'm just catching up. Sorry to hear about Misty's UTI, but relieved it's nothing more serious. Pleas give that beautiful girl a kiss from her "Joisey uncle".

NevadasMom Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I wonder if she has some underlying infection like a UTI? Cushing dogs also run warm.....Nevada always seemed a little warmer than normal. She would do more panting in the warmer weather than she did pre-cushings. For Nevada's Mom - I don't recall seeing what meds Nevada took for Cushings? I've been nominated to be a Welcome Host to the Canine Cushings Yahoo Group and I'm gathering sighthound related Cushings and treatment information to educate myself futher. Glad to hear Misty may just have an UTI... Nevada was on Mitotane for her cushings. She did well with it for several years. She passed away in April at a ripe old age of 15.5 years!

4My2Greys Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I wanted you to know that I've been thinking about Misty. I'm glad that her blood pressure is back where it should be. Is a BP drop something you have to worry about everytime you give Misty her medication? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greydogluvr Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I have been off line for a bit and am just catching up. So glad she is doing well and that her fever was the result of something simple to treat. Big hugs to the pretty girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mzmazzei Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Yes, Mitotane is another name for Lysodren. I think it might be a brand name for the drug. The November 2008 AKC Gazette has a good article on Cushing's Syndrome & Trilostane by Jeff Grognet, DVM. It covers symptoms, tests for diagnosis and the three main treatment drugs in a succinct fashion.

CaliforniaGreys Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) We still don't have the Cushings under control and will know more once the Stim test is repeated on 12/9 but..................the good news is that Misty has gained 2 pounds back. And we'll celebrate every good thing that comes her way. 8 more pounds and I can finally start posting pictures of her again.

There are others on the Cushings Yahoo Group website that have been hoping for good progress for you both. Is she currently on Lysodren? What dosage is working for you? How's her weight and symptoms?

What were the results of her last ACTH stim tests? Well wishes, Hi Jill, please thank everyone for their well wishes. Misty's last Stim test showed the cortisol levels as high as they were before we started. So she is now on 500mg of Lysodren on Mondays and Thursdays. Her next Stim test will be in 2 weeks and we're hoping we have it under control. Had some eating problems but lately she's been doing well. Instead of doing the 10 day induction again. my vet feels it's safer to proceed this way. Hard for me to judge if it's under control, she still drinks quite a bit but it has dropped off a bit. Thanks for asking about Misty.
