4My2Greys Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I was so hoping that this was going to be it. Give that sweet girl a kiss for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Claudia, I was certainly hoping for better news today. Yes, it will get better. We have to all just continue to send positive thoughts and prayers your way. You know I am always here if you need to talk. Please give her hugs from all of us here and especially Chance. He is packing his bags to come snuggle with her because he does not like the cold weather we are having here and he misses his forever lub. He says if he could cuddle with her that she would get better riteawayqwik. Oh well, we'll get it next time!! And Misty is waiting by the window Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 sorry the results weren't better. I know you will get this under control eventually, just so frustrating for you (both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm so sorry the results weren't better but it sounds like you have confidence in the approach and Misty is holding her own, bless her sweet heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan41 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Oh, crap. Was hoping and praying for better results. But hey, no backsliding is a good thing, right?

NevadasMom Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Remember what I said Claudia.....it took Nevada almost a year to get the dose just right. It's tough, but at least the pups seem happy & clueless....

k9fun Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Prayers out to you and Misty. Cushings is a challenge that is for sure but it sounds like you are heading in the right direction. It is just a long and tedious process. Quote The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

TheFullHouse Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think it's probably better to go slow and steady. She's headed in the right direction. Better that than crashing again. Maybe next time. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Maybe next time. I'll keep my fingers crossed. You're right Judy, better to go slow. The crashing was a terrible experience. I think this is why my vet decided to go 3x a week vs raise the dose of the Lysodren. Like Carol said, it took a year to get the dose right for Nevada.

Blaidd49 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Bummer on the results. Misty has often been in my thoughts. Although I am a fan of Trilostane, I have to agree with staying with the Lysodren as long as you are making progress. Your vet has the right approach with increasing frequency not dosage and you have enough experinece to spot early signs of a possible crash. Gentle hugs to Misty and lots of good vibes from chilly Quebec Pam We're just not ready to give up on the Lysodren yet. Misty's test results did come back a "little" better so we're on the right track but just not there yet.

Thank you Pam, I know there are a few people here who think I'm foolish for not insisting that we switch to the Trilostane but I believe that it would be the same situation we're having with the Lysodren.

Claudia- There is always going to be differing opinions on what treatment is correct. What you have to remember is that she is your pup, you know her better than anyone & you know what is the right thing to do for the both of you. I always appreciate the input......but the buck stops with you. Do what's right in your heart & you will never regret it.
