Our Krissy at three was tested for everything and it looked like it was Cushing. She had all the available test done and now we supect it was due to using Excel Hydrocortisone spray and she licked it. I was using this more than once a day for a few weeks.
She had all the symptoms and after stopping the spray on 8/10 she is improving daily. She gained three pounds going from 9.4 to 12.8. She drank tons of water and peed and panted all the time.
It took over two thousand dollars to find this out. I'm just glad she is OK. Make sure you are not using any meds with cortizone in them. We never though the spray could be the issue but due to licking she absorbed it in her body.
This was her problem:
Iatrogenic: Iatrogenic Cushing's Disease means that the excess of cortisone has resulted from excessive administration of cortisone. This may occur from oral or injectable medications. Although the injections or tablets were given for a legitimate medical reason, their excess is now detrimental. |
