Cushings syndrome in dogs
We've been treating our 7 yr old dog for Cushings for the past year or so. The disease is a result of overactive adrenal glands. Triggers catabolic steroids (opposite of anabolic- causes muscle weakness), increased thirst, immune suppression, and kidney irritation (adrenals are just above).
He's a lab/dane mix, now around 80#. Was closer to 100# when healthy.
So he's on Trilostane (Vetoryl), low carb diet, some supplements, etc. Has helped but he is getting weaker. Has anyone been through this and have any suggestions?
