Hi,
My pomeranian (between 5 and 6kgs, 12yo) I adopted from my brother 3 years ago. Who found him very sick wandering around streets in melbourne. It was a matter of either I take him or off to the pound. He suddenly started drinking water like crazy months ago, and his demeanor seemed low. I was very worried, however, my brother told me how much it costs for basic visits to the Vet and being on a Disability Support Pension I feared I couldn't afford it.
The excessive drinking suddenly stopped. So I just put it down to age. Almost a month ago the symptoms reappeared, this time, however, he had incontinence, his hair is falling out, and he is excessively hungry. So I took him straight to the Vet. He had urine, and blood tests. The blood tests showed that he has an infected liver and "enzymes are elevated" indicating cushing's disease. He's on Antibiotics, He has to have a ACTH stimulation test on Wednesday. After that I think medications plus more tests.
My question is this, I understand the medication Trilostane (Vetoryl) is expensive. I'm just wondering how expensive it it is. I understand different doses are required but generally speaking what has it cost you?
