So sorry you're having to deal with so much, but glad you found us.

Cushings meds, as you probably know, are extremely toxic and can have side effects -- how have you confirmed it's not the meds? And/or, have you confirmed a latest ACTH test bc he could be OVER medicated, causing way too *low* (dangerously and life-threateningly) cortisol levels in the body -- and when that happens, you want to give him a cortisol pill or shot ASAP.

If that's already been taken care of, then I'd be wondering about side effects and would take him off this med - see if there is improvement once out of his system; and then try different med.

My Wylie, btw, is 11 and has had Cushings since he was about 4.5 yrs old. He does just awesome with it...so hang in there!
