Wow, I'm so happy that FDMB is back.

Evey torn a big part of her skin back in July while i tested her BG due to fragile skin. The wound was very nasty but and it took more than a month to heal. Ever since that accident, I am afraid to pick her up or hold her so I haven't been testing her BG on a regular basis. I've been giving her 1.5U twice a day. She seems fine.

At the end of July, she is diagnosed of cushing syndrome and she has been taking Trilostane (5mg twice/day). After taking the medicine, she seems a lot better. Her belly fur has finally grown back. The vet suggested that her dose should be increased to 7.5mg twice/day. There isn't much research or information about Trilostane dosage on cat. I'm afraid it might be too much. Does anyone know much about Trilostane dose and cushing? Thanks

Poor Evey. I am glad she is doing better!
I don’t have any experience with Cushings. I’d also copy and paste this on the main health forum. I hope you get the information that you need.

Welcome back! We have a forum that is better than the main health forum for Cushings info: Acromegaly / IAA / Cushings Cats

I'm glad the Trilostane is working for her. Has the vet confirmed the Cushings is caused by a pituitary tumour?

Thank you Wendy~ i will check out that forum. The vet doesn't think it's necessary to find out what the cause is because there is not much they can do if it's a tumor. It seems the tumor removal surgery is very difficult.
