Bloody nose - update on Trevor

So sorry for the bad news Kelly, but at least you have a diagnosis and aren't left wondering.

I really wish I could offer some advice! Thinking of you and your family and hoping that Trevor is feeling well again soon.

I echo her sentiments. I am so sorry that you have to deal with this with your dear Trevor, but we are thinking of you and hoping that Trevor has no trouble with the medicine. Hope some others can offer some better insight.
 
I'm sorry to hear that Trevor has cushings. My maltese had cushings disease. I'm not sure what medicine she was on, but she did fine on the medicine for about 2 years after being diagnosed.
 
Kelly,

What a terrible diagnosis and such a difficult treatment regime ahead of him.

In my research on Bacca's issues, Cushings popped up as well, and I seem to recall low protein diet was a requirement for dealing with Cushings.

Maybe you are already on a low protein diet for him, but if not, it would be worthwhile to investigate how low to go.

The boys and I are holding you close in our thoughts!

Take care!
 
Kelly, I am so sorry, so sorry. This is just too hard. I'll pray to St Francis that Trevor is in the happy 75% who thrive on the meds.
 
So sorry to hear this diagnosis Kelly. I am sure this is very difficult. Lets pray that the medication works,and he will come thru,with no ill effects from the treatment. We're sending big hugs to you & Trevor.

I've been warned that this drug is serious...and in the worst case, can kill him if he has a bad reaction to it. If it doesnt kill him outright, it can cause Addison's disease, which is an under production of corticosteroids. But if they get it right, it can make him feel better.

I've really been scared by this. My vet said she wasn't trying to scare me, but wanted me to know all the risks. She said about 75% of patients do fine.

Has anyone had any experience with Lysodren?

Lysodren is a tricky drug.It needs alot of monitoring. But for those it works in it really does make them feel better. I believe those I've used it in have done well. But I really keep an eye on them.
 
We'll be saying prayers that Trevor can be managed safely and comfortably with medications.

Big hugs to you and Trevor!
