Please if any of you know, I say. I have fear that my cat treated with conventional drugs for hyperthyroidism, she is 13 and I've never been sick before. I wonder if acupuncture works, homeopathy, or in cases like this. Please share your experiences in your case. My cat has an appointment tomorrow with a regular vet, and I'm nervous, I'll give her medicines. Thanks for the help. After talking with others on the web, I found the answer. I used acupuncture and homeopathy (I am a student of veterinary homeopathy Bosnia and Herzegovina) and I can safely say that is not the way forward with hyperthyroidism. Your cat needs the medication and will not harm you. So work with your regular veterinarian about it. My cat was on medication for a few months later had hyperthyroidism and radioactive iodine treatment in the spring. Radiation is the "gold standard" to solve this problem. I had a hard cap of $ 1300. Your cat is young and long-term cost of medication and work, so frequent blood may be increased by that amount or more in recent years. Therefore, it is something you should discuss with your veterinarian after the drug enters the thyroid secretion under control. You have plenty of time to find out about treatment centers in your area to organize something like CareCredit to break the cost manageable monthly payments, etc. I treated a cat with radiation 15 years and she lived to be 22 and 1/2. My current cat, it is simply, is 16.

I recently bought a puppy an she has had kennel cough since she was six weeks old, she is on medication but still coughing does she need to be treated again. Basically… What kind of medication is she being given? Usually the vet will provide an antibiotic to help stave off pneumonia. You can also give her a child's dose of Robitussin, and baby aspirin to help her fight her cough. Usually Kennel cough takes about 14 days to run it course. If she's had a cough that has lasted longer than that, it might be something more serious than easy kennel cough. She may have pneumonia or "dog flu". If her cough persists, get her back to your vet ASAP. You also need to report the person whoever sold you a sick dog to the authorities. Selling dogs that are not fit for sale is against the law.

My dog Cookie was recently diagnosed with Cushings and she also has a heart murmur. I first noticed she was ill when she had a seizure/episode. After being hospitalized, getting treatment and now on Lysodren and Enalapril she seemed to be her old self (she's 11 yrs). A week after starting the Lysodren she had another episode (she collapses backward, her legs go straight, and she howls in pain), they usually last less than a minute and she seems to recover quickly, however after her last one she won't eat, drink just sleeps, seems very weak. I've noticed that the last 2 episodes which came almost 24 hrs apart, came almost 2 hrs after I gave her the Lysodren. After almost 3 wks, and $3,000 later, I still dont know what's causing these episodes and I'm very concerned. Could the Lysodren be making her worse instead of better? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. After looking around, I learned — Believe it or ont, there isn't much evidence that treatment prolongs the life span of patients with Cushing's disease, if you don't count euthanasia due to problems like increased urination. So the major benefit of treatment is not prolonged life but comfort of your pup in the remaining life span. With this in mind, if there were no symptoms beforehand, there seems to be no strong reason to treat the disorder at all. On the other hand, since you did recognize symptoms, there's good evidence that it makes patients with clinical signs feel better and some evidence that starting treatment early helps to control symptoms long-term. So perhaps treatment IS a good option in your case. There is an alternate option approved treatment for Cushing's disease, which is the use of selegiline (Anipryl Rx), a medication that works well in about 40% of Cushing's disease cases and has less potential for harmful side effects and for causing hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease). It may be worth considering the use of this medication, but you'll have to consult with your vet first, of course. At the present time, most vets still favor the use of mitotane (Lysodren Rx) for the treatment of Cushing's disease, primarily because it is effective more generally than selegiline but also because some veterinary endocrinologists question whether selegiline works at all, because it doesn't improve the results of standard tests used to assess the treatment of Cushing's, even though it DOES appear to alleviate symptoms in many patients. So your vet's choice of this medication is not really unusual. It is important to monitor for signs of hypoadrenocorticism and to know that it may occur when using Lysodren. It should not bother your vet much if you opted to discontinue treatment for this condition and see what happens. However, you must realize that you would have to repeat the initial stages of medicating (in which regular lab work (ACTH response tests) would have to be done to make certain that we've the correct dosages) when/if you decided to start the medication again due to the occurrence of clinical signs. I know of no evidence that suggests that stopping treatment and then restarting it is any more likely to cause problems. It would be best if you can schedule some time to discuss all this with your vet. I'm sure the choice to use Lydodren was made in good faith based on your vet's experiences with Cushing's, and this medication. However, it's not always right for every case . . Talk to your vet about different options because, like I said, the medication is meant to help with your dog's comfort. If she's not any more comfortable ON the medication, you may want to consider switching it, or taking her off it completely.
