The medicine they put her on for the Cushing's didn't help and put her in to liver disease, diagnosed by a liver biopsy. The specialist stopped the Cushing's treatment and started he on Liver medicine and her liver went back to normal within 6 months. When she was in liver failure, she was so sick but quickly got better. I am praying Daisy will get better soon.
I really don't think it is cushing the more I read up on it. but I could be wrong do you know what the name of the liver medicine was?
