Hello everyone here,

My Boston terrier mix is 12 years old. His belly was swelling and he was acting lethargic. His liver enzymes were elevated. Our vet guessed that he might have Cushing's and she ran the test. Our dog was at the vet all day. He came back positive and she started him on 10mg of Vetoryl. He has been on for 5 days now. He seems to have perked up a bit. I was afraid that he had liver cancer. We lost two dogs to that. I know that we are not out of the woods but hoping for the best. He still can run up and down the stairs and we go for 2 walks every day. When he wants to, we will walk for about 1 mile. On some walks he wants to go home early.

Does anyone have any other foods or supplements to help our dog on this path? I know that we don't want to mess with his cortisol as he has the two week test to see where he is.

We have always tried to give our dogs the best dog food. The problem is reading on the internet what is the best dog food makes my head spin. We give our dog Stella & Chewy's dehydrated meat patties and one bowl of kibble. We also give him bone broth for dogs. I struggle with what brand of kibble to give my dog. I am open to suggestions about dog food. We put filtered water in his drinking bowl too. And any other suggestions for our little guy is appreciated!

Thanks a bunch!
