It certainly is a hard one and expensive one to diagnose and to continually test and treat. Unfortunately that combined with heart problems and a completely collapsed airway requiring emergency surgery etc ran my credit card up to $18k in the last year for my boy but worth every cent. I definitely know what you're going through.
I definitely need a large dog on trilostane to give my medication to. 150mg is the dose my big guy was on. Its worth about $500 and is nearly a full bottle. Think I thought if I kept buying more medication he'd live forever....I tried :'(
I adopted my greyhound about a year ago but I'm suspecting he's got Cushing's in the last couple of weeks because of his recent increased water intake and bedwetting and he looks "fatter" than before. I'm going to take him to the vet but I've only got pet insurance since 3-4 months ago and am just wondering if Cushing's is covered by it?
