10 y/o Dachshund recently diagnosed - (UPDATE - Prissie has passed away)

[Doxielvr729]

Hey everybody. My name is Noelle and I have a 10 yr old dachshund named Prissie that was just recently diagnosed with cushings. I had never heard of this disease before about 3 weeks ago and I've done hours of research and feel like I've only scraped the surface. This is so overwhelming and I'm so glad to find out I am not alone.

Prissie's story:

It all started about 3 months ago when she started waking me up many times a night acting like she was starving. She is a lump of love, so I just thought maybe it was her food etc. It continued to get worse and she would drink water all through the night and I was getting no sleep. The vet told us she could be waking up in pain because she needed dental work. So of course, I scheduled her asap to get her teeth fixed. The morning of somehow my other dogs bowl of food had fallen and of course, she ate it. She had to be fasting for the surgery so we had to cancel. Praise the Lord for divine intervention, because then I started researching if anesthesia was risky in senior dachshunds and the site I found said it was always a good idea to have a complete blood workup prior to surgery. Extremely long story short, we got the results back and one of her liver enzymes was over 900 and he suggested the 2 further tests to check for cushings. We found out she has the pituitary kind and she started taking Vetoryl 60mg once a day.

Here is where the stressful, desperate for answers part comes in.....

Today was her 9th day of medicine and if anything, I feel like she is worse. I've been sleeping on an air mattress so she can still sleep with me but have easy access to water and the pads to go potty on, but for the last 2-3 nights she has been pacing almost all night and circling the room. She will bark to wake me up 5-6 and I've tried giving her a treat, water, letting her outside, cuddling, massaging, covering her up......literally everything I can think of, and nothing helps her or pleases her. It seems right when I go back to sleep she freaks out and starts it all again. I am so stressing because she seems like shes suffering and I can't fix it for her. Can anyone help me or suggest new ideas to try with her that have worked for you???

I am so glad you've found us, and so sorry that I have only a few moments to post right now. But can you tell us how much Prissie weighs? And if you can tell us the actual numbers on her two diagnostic Cushing's tests, that would be wonderful.

The reason why I am asking about Prissie's weight is because the initial dosing is directly related to the size of the dog. An initial dose of 60 mg. sounds high for a dachshund...

It may be the case that she is being overdosed on the medication. Has your vet talked with you about monitoring ACTH testing (a blood test)? This testing should be performed 10-14 days into treatment, and sooner if a dog is not doing well as seems to be the case with Prissie.

[Doxielvr729]

Hi! Thank you so much for replying. Prissie weighs between 21-22lbs. depending on the day. We called the vet this morning worried that maybe she was being overdosed and not knowing if that could be fatal for her. He just called back and said he was going to cut her dose in half to 30mg, so we were going to give her the 60mg dose every other day, since its dangerous to cut the pills in half. My question is, is that the same as taking 30mg once a day?? I was under the impression one pill only stayed in their little system 18-24 hours. He said we would wait to do the ACTH monitoring test 14 days from tomorrow, since we are changing her dose.

[labblab]

Good for you -- you've done your homework and no, giving 60 mg. every other day is not the same as giving 30 mg. daily for exactly the reason you've stated. For most dogs, the drug hits peak effectiveness within just a couple hours of dosing and is exiting the body by the twelve-hour mark.

I am very worried that Prissie may be overdosed. And if that is the case, she may very well need to stop taking the Vetoryl entirely for at least several days and not resume the medication again until her cortisol has had a chance to rebound. The only way to know for certain whether or not that has happened is by performing an ACTH sooner rather than later.

Please bear in mind that I am not a vet, but given what you have described, if Prissie were my own, I would not give her any more Vetoryl at all for the time being. And if she does not start acting normally again by tomorrow (or most certainly if she worsens and becomes lethargic or has vomiting or diarrhea), she needs to have both her cortisol level checked as well as her basic blood chemistries ("electrolytes"). They can be thrown totally off as a result of medication overdose. Is she still eating and drinking normally?

It is true that the chart contained in Dechra's published Product Insert lists a starting dose of 60 mg. for a dog of Prissie's weight (barely). But the written commentary discusses an intial dosing range of 1-3 mg. per pound, and we are aware that Dechra is currently recommending that dogs be started at the lowest end of the range to minimize the risks of side effects or overdose. So based on that formula, even 30 mg. daily may be a higher starting dose than Prissie can comfortably take.

For all these reasons, I would not give her any more Vetoryl until you can get things sorted out. Your vet is not proceeding according to recommended treatment protocol, and that worries me greatly. Do you know whether or not he has had much experience with the drug? For your own reference, here is a link to Dechra's Product Insert for Vetoryl:

http://www.dechra-us.com/files/dechraUSA/downloads/Product%20inserts/Vetoryl.pdf

Here's an excerpt that discusses the importance of pursuing the cause of ill effects seen after beginning treatment with Vetoryl:


Hypoadrenocorticism can develop at any dose of VETORYL Capsules. In some cases, it may take months for adrenal function to return and some dogs never regain adequate adrenal function.
A small percentage of dogs may develop corticosteroid withdrawal syndrome within 10 days of starting treatment. This phenomenon results from acute withdrawal of circulating glucocorticoids;
clinical signs include weakness, lethargy, anorexia, and weight loss1. These clinical signs should be differentiated from an early hypoadrenocortical crisis by measurement of serum electrolyte concentrations and performance of an ACTH stimulation test. Corticosteroid withdrawal syndrome should respond to cessation of VETORYL Capsules (duration of discontinuation based upon clinical signs) and restarting at a lower dose.

Hi again! Since I read your post and did some more research I called the vet's office and told them I wanted to come pick up a bottle of the 30mg pills today because I didn't feel comfortable with her getting such a big dose and then not having any for two days. He said that was ok and he was only doing it the other way because we had already spent so much money on the bottle of 60mgs. I'm thinking "really????????" You can have all of my money, just make my baby better. I also asked him about her taking a vitamin type thing that's supposed to be a "calming agent" for dogs, and he said he would be ok with that, but not to expect it to make much of a difference. We laid down yesterday afternoon and slept for 4 hours!! It seemed like it kind of leveled her our to where she could just relax. At this point I'm thankful for small miracles.

There are a couple of things that are worrying me. First, when we laid down yesterday Prissie started smacking her mouth like it was really dry (she's never done this), and acted like she didn't want to get up to get water. Of course I brought the bowl to her and she drank for a good minute and then drifted off to sleep. Is this a side effect of the medicine, or overdose?? The second thing is her hearing and eyes. Just recently I've had to say her name pretty loud and she will look around like she wasn't sure where its coming from. Also when she looks up at me her left eye looks so much different than her right. The left one her pupil is huge and looks like it has moved towards the top. Has anyone ever had this happen to their pup with cushings?

I'd like to say I'm being strong through all of this........but to be honest I am really having a hard time. I could start crying anytime and probably not stop for days. It's so heartbreaking to see her suffer and those sad eyes look up at me and not understand why she is feeling so bad. I'm forcing myself to be strong for her and push on researching every way I can help her through this, because she sure can't do it for herself. I also fully believe that dogs sense your energy and mood and thats what keeps me from crying, because maybe if she senses I'm feeling strong she will fight through and not give in to this stupid, stupid, horrible disease. Sorry if I'm rambling, I just feel I can really be understood here.

My sweet girls cuddling this morning.

[molly muffin]

Hi Noelle and welcome to the forum. I can't tell you how great this group is. Everyone is going through the same thing and we all just share information and ask questions as needed.

I'm in the process of going through all this myself. So, here is where I started.

Ask your vet for copies of all of Prissie's lab test. I told mine that I would be keeping a file and wanted all lab results for it. So I can Know what is going on too.
Do you know if she was diagnosed using the ACTH test or an LDDS test? Post the test and her lab results here for our more experienced people to look over. Also any abnormal blood and urine test results. (post those here with the ranges)

Next, from what I've read, dosing change should coincide with an ACTH test that shows where Prissie is at right now with her cortisol, so that they know what dosage she should be at.

From everything I've read it can be tricky those first 30 or so days getting the dosage right and stabilizing the cortisol. That is why there are so many repeat ACTH tests. I'd get one at day 10 from the starting dose. Then again at day 10 if the dose is changed.

The information about Cushings can be horribly overwhelming when you first start out. I still find myself getting some thought in my head and spending hours looking for information on the net, when I should be sound asleep and ready to get up for work the next morning.

I won't say don't worry because that is impossible. I will say that hopefully as we continue the journey, things will settle down and be a bit more calm. Just have to get Prissie at the right dose and stabilized. Then hopefully everyone can get some sleep through the night. :)

Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi and welcome to you and Prissie! :)

One of the hard, fast rules of Cushing's is that you never give the meds to a pup who is ill - that is either med, Lysodren or Trilostane. With the Trilo, you do not lose any ground by stopping for a few days. This drug is leaving the dog's body fairly quickly - in 2-12 hours - so skipping a few doses is no big deal with Trilo....and much better for them than continuing it when they are ill or acting "off".

Are you seeing anything like confusion, getting stuck in corners or behind furniture, pressing of the head on walls or furniture? These signs can be an indicator that the pituitary tumor is growing. The odd eye makes me wonder if something neurological is going on OR if her blood pressure is elevated. Has her BP been checked lately? Are the eyes bloodshot at all?

I'm glad you found us and want you to know that you and Prissie are not alone. You are family here now and we will be with you every step of the way. Keep reading and asking questions and we will do our best to help.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

Any help on what these mean would be great!

[Squirt's Mom]

Thanks so much for getting these!

Right off the bat, I see that her liver and pancreas need to looked into asap. The elevated amylase and lypase are indicative of pancreatits and the elevations in AST, ALT, GGT along with ALKP could indicate liver disease or damage.

The low T4 indicates she is hypothyroid, which has many of the same signs as Cushing's and is often mistaken as Cushing's when it isn't. There is a condition called sick euthroid syndrome that is a secondary condition and often seen with untreated cush pups. The Free T4 suggested on the printout is the next step in looking at the cause for the low T4.

The ACTH is in range for Cushing's but I don't think the LDDS is.

So, again, if I were you, I would stop the Trilostane and do some further testing to rule out pancreatitis, liver disease, hypothyroidism for starters. Hopefully, someone who knows more about the rest of these abnormals will be along soon. I really can't imagine a vet seeing elevations in the amylase and lypase and not saying something about the pancreas. :confused: But there is much I don't know! ;)

Leslie and the gang

Do you have an Internal Medicine Specialist that you can take Prissie to see? They might be able to come up with a treatment plan since it seems that there are several possibilities going on with her.

This site can help you locate a specialist if you don't know of one.
http://www.acvim.org/websites/acvim/index.php?p=3

Often an Emergency Vet Hospital or University if you have one in your area, will have a small animal internal med specialist on staff.

I know that sounds scary, but I took my molly to one, and felt much better. It is worth it to have someone who has more knowledge in these specific areas to take a looksee.

HUGS,
Sharlene

[Doxielvr729]

I don't know if I'm supposed to post 3 times in a day, but I have a quick praise report and you guys are the only ones that will get excited about regular poops with me! :p

After not taking the Vetoryl today her poops were solid tonight and she's barking and acting a little more spunky!! Probably more validation that she was being overdosed. Yay for regular poops!

[molly muffin]

Whoooo Hooooo for regular poops! Absolutely you can post. Sheezzz..barking and pooping and being spunky, is all Very praise worthy! I couldn't be more excited for you and Prissie!
poop on wonder dog!

Big ole HUGGERS from me and a belly rub for Prissie. :)

[GabbySue]

I think that dog people are the only ones that get excited about dog poop.
Welcome Noelle!!
We too discovered some of Gabby's initial bloodwork changes when she had labs done for a preop dental!

I am thinking that an exam by a vet opth might also be a good idea as well there are all sorts of other things that they can get with their eyes and glaucoma or effects from an elevated BP can cause changes with the pupil.

Good luck with your tests.

Thank you SO much for that link Sharlene! I had no idea where to even start looking and that site found there are 3 vet internists in the Greenville, SC area!

It was a really bad night and I'm needing some major encouragement, advice, suggestions.....anything, this morning.

Before bed Prissie was "pooting" very often, and this smell was the most horrible thing I've ever smelled. It was so bad, I was trying to air the house out, and had to step outside a lot to keep from getting sick. Nothing has changed in her diet and she is on Blue Buffalo healthy weight dog food, which I understood as one of the bests?? Once in bed (on the air mattress) she started doing the mouth smacking thing very badly and refused every offer of water. She would jump down and just cry and pace. When I would put my hand on her tummy she would flinch very dramatically like it was hurting really bad. I'm researching dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, gas in dogs with cushings, pancreatitis.......everything to see how I could help her up until 1:30am. One site had a recipe of a mixture to treat the electrolytes by mixing some sugar, water and other things. I am currently on a diet so I have NO sugar in my house. The gas site suggested trying a tums and after inspecting ingredients one tums has 2mg of sugar! I gave her one tums and let her take one lick of my diet drink to get her "drinker" going. She drank a lot of water, and we laid down and slept peacefully from 2-5:30am.

That was very lengthy and I'm sorry, but it seems like every detail is important with this disease. My question is, are these signs of pancreatitis?? Do the high levels of cortisol from cushings also cause pancreatitis?? If we control the cushings with the medicine will it resolve the other problems?

I don't know if I should give her the Vetoryl 30mg this morning and I'm stressing. Am I harming her by not treating the cushings, or making her worse because of the medicine??:confused:

[addy]

Hi,

Sometimes the Vetoryl can cause tummy upset. Could you speak with your vet about giving Pepcid and hour before breakfast and the Vetoryl dose?

I really think that 60 mgs was a hefty dose. If the tums seemed to settle her tummy we have a clue.

Our Cush dogs are prone to pancreatitis. They can have pancreatitis without a lot of warning signs.

A lot of this is trial and error. I am sure others will stop by but if she were my pup I think I would withhold the Veotry another day or so and see how your pup acts.

It is probably best to have a conversation with your vet. Ask about the pepcid and what the correct dose would be based on weight.

Hang in there.

[labblab]

I have only a moment to post this morning, so I apologize for being short-winded and blunt. :o

No, I don't think you should give any more Vetoryl at all until Prissie is examined by a capable vet. In the short run, risking overdose is much more dangerous than not having optimal control of her cortisol -- if she even has Cushing's at all.

Leslie has pointed out the numerous, very disturbing elevations in Prissie's bloodwork. Additionally, she is right, Prissie's LDDS test is not consistent with Cushing's at all. All of her abnormal lab readings in addition to her dilated eye -- all these things need to be pursued before starting back with the Vetoryl. Prissie's problems have the potential to be very complicated. It does not sound as though your current vet is addressing them at all. I think you need to consult another vet -- ASAP!!!!!!!!! First thing this morning, I would contact the specialist in your area and find out what you need to do in order to get a referral. Not trying to be overly-dramatic, but her life may depend upon it. Any of these potential problems -- liver failure, acute pancreatitis, Vetoryl overdosing -- can turn deadly on very short notice! Please keep us updated as the morning progresses, OK? If you cannot make arrangements today with the specialists, find out who they'd recommend on an emergency basis. Prissie sounds like an acutely sick little girl who needs to be evaluated ASAP.

Marianne

[Squirt's Mom]

Mornin' sweetie,

Please - no more Trilo for now, none, nada, zip. ;) There is just too much that does not fit a Cushing's profile as well as several additional concerns, especially after the nite she had. What you are describing sounds more and more like pancreatitis to me and this is not a condition that can be played with. It requires immediate, medical attention. As Marianne suggested, call the vet first thing this morning and if you don't get immediate action, take her to an ER asap. I am very concerned that Prissie is in dire straits. :(

Also, Tums for dogs is not good. It is a human product based on human physiology and our physiology is not the same as a dogs. Pepcid AC, the regular and be sure it is the AC form, is fine for them as is Tagmet - but not Tums. ;)

Please let us know what the vet says - we are very concerned about Prissie.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

[molly muffin]

Okay, based upon the recommendations of our senior staff this morning and reading what you wrote.
Here is a link to an emergency vet hospital in Greenville area.

http://www.aecgreenville.com/staff/doctors.html
Clinic (864) 232-1878 Office (864) 234-4701

There are several other vet hospitals in the area too, do a google search on Greenville, South Carolina Emergency Hospitals to see if there is a closer one to you. Take All of Prisses lab results that you posted here with you.

Let us know what they say. It has been a horrible night for you and Prissie but maybe a specialist at the hospital can figure this out and get the appropriate treatment going.

I took my Molly to see a specialist at our emergency vet hospital. They will work with your current vet once a proper diagnosis has been made and no I wouldn't give her the Vetroyl until this is figured out.

Hugs hon, hang in there, you Can do this,

Sharlene

[Doxielvr729]

Called the vet internist. They couldn't see her until Monday and said she needed to be seen elsewhere ASAP. Just got an appt. with another known vet in town. Will update after. Please pray for my sweet girl. :(

[labblab]

Good job getting that appointment!!!!! Prayers (and huge hugs) are definitely flying your way.

Marianne

[molly muffin]

Fabulous! Sending positive hopes and wishes and prayers and everything else I can think of your way.
Let us know what they say. I hope they can get this figured out as soon as possible. Did they recommend this vet to you? the internist I mean.
I so hope they can figure this out for your baby.

Hugs,
Sharlene

[Squirt's Mom]

Way to go, Mom! :)

I know you are scared and worried and probably shaking like a leaf in the wind...but just remember, you and Prissie are not alone. You are surrounded by your family here, wrapping you both in our prayers, positive thoughts and healing white light. Post anytime you wish, as much as you wish....we are here with you, honey. You have done the right thing and did a good job of being an advocate for Prissie in getting an appt this morning.

A tip...if she has to stay at the hospital, ask if you can give her a blanket or item of clothing that has familiar scents on it - yours and hers - to keep in her cage. That can often help calm our babies and let them know they are still connected to home and those they love.

Hang in there, sweetie,
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

[jmac]

Just wanted to stop in and let you know I'm thinking of you and Prissie and hoping for the best! We are here with you, so feel free to post whenever you want: to vent, to calm your nerves, whatever. Someone is almost always here. You're never alone.

Just wondering how our girl is doing...

I sure hope Prissie is better this afternoon!

Marianne

Patience is grossly over rater. *insert finger tapping here

Hope Prissie is doing better and that you can get some definitive answers to help her. (and you get can all get a good nights sleep)

We are all going to end up insomniacs by the time we get through these rough patches.

Hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin (who is even now on her back, tummy to the world, head hanging down over the edge of the couch)

[Doxielvr729]

Hey everybody, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It helped a lot getting those messages on my phone throughout the morning. :)

Update on my sweet girl:

The vet we went to was VERY thorough and spent the better part of an hour checking her from nose to tail. She said completely stop the Vetoryl because she wasn't 100% her problems right now are even cushings related. She said lets work on everything else and we willl revisit the cushings subject later. Prissie had a lot of bacteria in her poops, no more blood in her urine, and only slightly elevated blood pressure. She prescribed a med called Tylan powder twice a day for her tummy, inflammation, etc. She also prescribed Ammoxicillin and Tramadol for pain with her arthritis. Prissie was taking Rimadyl and she said to stop that immediately 1.because of her tummy and 2. because its not good for the liver enzymes, functions, etc. Her heart was perfect, lungs a little raspy, but she thought that may have been because she is so uncomfortable with her tummy. $140.00 later, and we came home and collapsed on the bed and just got up :o.

She didn't think Prissie was having a life threatening bout of pancretitis because she is still eating like a pig and hasn't vomited once. She did say she would be in tomorrow and give her a call if we needed her. She said to go to the specialist on Monday and get an ultrasound of Prissie's pancreas. That might be all together in the range of about 5-600 dollars. :eek: Hopefully she will be feeling much better by Monday?? Can I be honest and tell you that I don't have that kind of money this month. After the two boxes of Vetoryl, all the tests, her rymadyl, and then todays visit, I don't know how I'm going to do it. I have faith everything will work out, its just a bit stressful and not fair because I wish money didn't have to be an issue on top of a sick pup.

I was going to write when I got home but I didn't have the energy. I'm hoping tonight will be much better! Everyone here really means more than I could say. Prissie and me both give you big hugs and sloppy kisses :p

[molly muffin]

Okay, first off, I like this vet better! I think that a thorough checkup is exactly what Prissie needed and I tend to agree, that cushings is Not the main issue. That LDDS test didn't really reflect cushings. Just like in my Molly. She suppressed at 8 hours. Cushings dogs can't do that. So, definitely other things to be thinking about maybe the meds she was on were part of, if not a large degree of the problem. Prissie obviously has some bacterial issues that need to be addressed and sounds like that is happening now. If she doesn't have cushings she should definitely not be on vetoryl. Is one of the boxes still unopened? Maybe your vet would take it back if that is the case. Mine as said she'll take Mollys unopened box back and refund the money.

Oh sweetie. We All know how hard it is with the vet bills when our babies are sick. I hope that these meds will be better for Prissie and she'll start to feel better. Once her bacterial issues are treated then perhaps a blood test later on to see how she is really doing. It's a good sign that the vet didn't think that pancretitis is an issue at the moment.

Get some rest, enjoy the babies and have a relaxing weekend hopefully. A good weekend can make things look better come monday.

hugs,
Sharlene

[Squirt's Mom]

What a good post to read this morning! What a relief! :) I so hope Prissie is acting more like her old self this morning. And it sounds as if the IMS is on the ball PLUS just being a nice lady who took the time to talk with you, not at you. I am so glad you had a good experience with the new vet!

Keep in touch and let us know how Prissie is doing!
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

[Doxielvr729]

Just had to share this really quick.

Prissie had a pretty unrestful night and I called the new vet this morning to let her know. She thinks Prissie is more anxious than in pain since she is being treated for the pain already. She is going to call in something for anxiety to get her through the weekend. She said she is probably anxious because she doesn't understand what's happening in her little body and gets so embarrassed when she has a potty accident.

THEN she said she just bought a new ultrasound machine and is still learning to master it, but Monday she will do an ultrasound on prissies tummy......FOR FREE!! I was just honest with her and told her I literally had $13 dollars in my account until next week and I couldn't afford the specialist on Monday. She said she's more worried about Prissie than money. Ohhh myyy goossh! I am in shock! The Lord is providing! I've just kept faith and kept trying to do the right thing for my sweet girl and blessings are starting to happen!

[molly muffin]

Upstate Vet Dr. Von Hendy Wilson saw my doxy and she is outrageous. They have offices in Greenville and Asheville, NC. She has answered some of my questions on line after she saw him in May. Best wishes in seeking care for your baby. I am trying to balance trilo dosage myself and it is hard to find the right dose not cause more problems. Other vets would be ok but I just had a great experience with her.

[molly muffin]

Hope you and Prissie are doing okay.
let us know when you have time.
