Guest KyGrey Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh Claudia, I don't know anything about Cushings other than what you have explained to me. I am holding Misty in my thoughts and prayers. I worry about the weight loss but I like to think the vet has it in her best interest on treatment. Sending hugs, prayers and calming thoughts out to California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime stay positive and keep feeding her the way you've been doing. Maybe now that the cortisol level is stable, then her weight will stablize also.

Guest greydogluvr Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Claudia I am so sorry. Cushings is so awful. It sounds like the worst is about over. I am wondering if cutting the dosage sooner than that may be an option. Maybe she would get some of her appetite back. I do not know much about the meds she is taking, but this may be an option since she is about where you want her to be. Is she having any other symptons besides the weight loss? ETA Just read that she is eating. Is the weight loss a side effect of the meds?. Edited March 12, 2009 by greydogluvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
