| Vetoryl for cushings??? Hi everyone! Recently our baby girl Lexus was diagnosed with Cushings. Her only real symptoms are excessive water consumption and constant urination. They have done all the tests and ruled out diabetes and uti. The vet is suggestion Vetoryl. Has anyone used this drug?? Success in mitigating symptoms? Also are there any herbal supplements that can help? Diet changes at could help? Thx, |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | My Wylie has Atypical Cushings. The only known supps that can help are flax lignans (there is a very specific brand/type recommended by U of Tenn) and melatonin (for the hair loss). Imo, lignans often don't work - but if they do, that's wonderful since they're so harmless. I've heard good things about Vetoryl (trilostane) - it works beautifully for some dogs. All Cushing meds have the potential for nasty side effects, but many dogs do wonderfully once you find the right med and get it titrated (can take months). My Wylie is on Lysodren, btw, which is a pretty toxic med also - but he's never had a single side effect. He was diagnosed around age 4, he is now 8. As for diet, the only thing that really applies there is if your kiddo has the weight gain that some dogs get w/ Cushings.
