Sorry I don't know any. My 11 year old Pom was finally diagnosed a year ago with Cushings after misdiagnosed as Thyroid disease. I was taking her to a dermatologist specialist who treeated Cushings. We tried loading with Lysodern and she never loaded so the vet kept changing the amt and timing of it. I finally got tired of Maya getting worse so I took her to an internal Med specialist who determined that the lysodern had put Maya in to liver failure and we had to stop treating her Cushings and try and get her liver better. After 4 months on meds her liver had imoroved. I have taken her off all meds as they were making her quality of life terrible and she is much better. She still has the Cushing's symptoms but they are livable at this time. So my advice would be to make sure you are working with someone who has treated lots of Cushings dogs. There is a Cushings forum I joined but there is not a lot of response and it gets pretty technical. I know from that site that many of their dogs did really well on Lysodern so I hope you have good results.
