Vonn lost his fight Thursday. He was vomiting profusely and turning down food. His blood work showed advances renal disease. I miss his little...
Thank you again for the info. The branded trilostane was going to cost $90 a month, which with testing and the amount we already spend on Vonn was...
So far, my searches only turn up FDMB for any kind of Cushing's forum. Looks like I may be flying this one solo.
I researched like a fiend last night. I am not ready to give up because Vonn is still happy, engaged, and his normal jerk face/goofy self. I'm glad I...
Just got the test results back. He's definitively Cushing's and it's PDH. I have been looking into Trilostane, which I thought was going to be...
I'm definitely looking into U/S. I suspect that it is PDH Cushing's just based on his shape. We have a really great 24/7 emergency and specialist...
@Rachel I have actually gotten some great info in the Cushing's thread! Not many replies but the ones I've gotten were great. I'll try in health...
@Tuxedo Mom I am so very sorry to hear about Tuxie. Our little fur children come to us, bring us so much joy, and are gone far too soon. Thank you...
Hi Vyktors Mum, Is it typical for Trilostane to drop BG levels so low? Does it eventually level out if you decrease/stop insulin? What should I be...
Hey TuxedoMom It look like I have a Cushing's kitty, too. My boy is 9 now and has shown signs of Cushing's for almost 7 years. No vets thought to...
I'm more familiar with it in dogs and horses. It's apparently exceedingly rare in cats, so naturally my boy would have it! Apparently, the drug of...
Hello all, Ive been on a bit of a posting hiatus as Vonnegut has been having a great deal more issues. Some (if not all of this) will be x-posted to...

I'm hoping so!! He's gotten much more manageable now that I've decreased his dose and/or skipped doses. He's back to purring and cuddling. When...
Quick update on Vonnegut. I'm doing a quick curve today at 3+ and 6+. He was at 191 this morning so I opted to skip his shot. I'm glad I did! His 3+...
Seeing his numbers this low has given me sooooo much hope. I am really hoping that our issues developed because he was getting too low. He seemed...
Hubs isn't cool with needles at all. It's all I can do to get him to shoot insulin! Vonn is definitely the opposite of your cat. He can't stand...
Spreadsheet is linked, updated and cleaned up a bit to clear up the confusion. The wacky numbers were all 2016 and the spot where there was no PMPS...
Great advice! I like the Young Again a bit better than the Evo on price. I plan to use it only at night for grazing if he gets super hungry. He's...
I was not a good mom when it came to testing. Those almost 600 BG levels were last year when we had to hit the e vet for super high levels. Today was...
