Trilostane and Cushing Disease

[boxerman5]

Hi all. I wonder if anyone out there has had a similar problem as me.
Ollie, my 10 year old Fawn Boxer , has been diagnosed with Cushings Disease.
He has been on Trilostane for 2 months now.He seems to be doing a little better. I believe the disease has been with him for a long time before this treatment. He has all of the common symptoms. My current concern is that he has started to have increased hair loss.
He has been on Thyroid medications for 3-4 years also. The Thyroid meds have given him very thick hair. Seems to me from what I read online that hair loss is a sign of Cushings also.
Has anyone had anyhthing work to stop this hair loss issue? Antone like to share experience with Trilostane?

When was the last post pill thyroid testing done? Perhaps the levels need to be adjusted. If it was over 6 months ago that would be where I might start. Just a thought.

Thanks Cami, for the response. I think you may be right. He had the testing 2 months ago, but maybe he is on the wrong dose. Will let you know. I have to wait a couple of weeks. My Vet is on vacation in Kenya.
