another newbie saying 'howdy'

[WordNerd]

i'm mama to a 10 year old shep/collie (fs) with cushings. she was diagnosed just over 4 years ago. I'm new to the forum, but wanted to say hello, and let everyone know we're here :) already i've picked up interesting information and am looking forward to going through all the posts in detail and gathering more...and getting to know everyone else here.

Welcome to you and your girl!

It sounds as though things are very much under control with her Cushing's.

Please feel free to let us know what meds she is on (weight also) and any recent blood test results to monitor her cortisol levels.

Hello and welcome to the forum. 4 years! So she was 6 years old when she was diagnosed?

How has she done on treatment all these years? Which medication is she on?

I know we always have tons of questions, and are looking forward to getting to know you too.

Hello and welcome everyone here is really helpful so I bet you'll find some good info to help you and your girl, also just talking to people seems to ease the worry. I know when my dog was first diagnosed I went on a info finding frenzy the best advice I got was to take a breath and spend a night just my dog and me :)

Hello and welcome! I guess you and I are in the minority that has young dogs with Cushings if your little girl was diagnosed at 6 y/o. My doxie, Dixie is 6 and she was diagnosed the end of July. She is doing very well on Trilostane (Vetoryl) and I'm very encouraged by the fact that your girl is still doing well after 4 years of treatment. I look forward to getting to know you and your baby!
