I was referred to this site by someone from the cushings forum. Not sure if you still remember me Natalie. I don't post often over there.
Lily was diagnosed with cushing March 2008. She had a high glucose level then but it dropped and stayed normal. You really questioned me then to make sure it wasn't diabetes.
Well in December I started noticing Lily not doing as well. She was drinking and peeing lots and still eating lots but loosing weight. I thought some had to do with our new puppy and my illness that put me in the hospital. She has a tendency to stress out and have spells when someone in the family is sick.
Anyway, I took her in today because she was having lots of poop and then threw up. Her glucose level was high again, she was dehydrated, and had actually lost 2 more pounds. She is down to 6 pounds now...we started at 12 last March.
I lucked out and my favorite vet was her Dr. today. She kept her and is going to do more testing tomorrow. They rulled out addisons today.
She did say that she thought for sure she would be going on insulin. Her other symptoms where her eyes got very cloudy this weekend. She is not sure why this happened so suddenly but she does have a cataract on one of her eyes.
I would appreciate any of your great advice!
She is a Chihuahua, 9 years old, and takes 15mg of trilistane a day.
