It has now been three weeks since we began the Supraglan treatment. I'm disappointed to have to report I haven't been able to observe any changes in Koty. He's still thirsty, still piddles commensurate with thirst. His appetite has not diminished and his hair is still falling out.
On a positive note he still appears to be happy healthy and full of energy. This is good because cushingoid dogs are prone to various infections. They are also predisposed to developing hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, diabetes, seizures, hypertension, congestive heart failure, blood clots (thromboembolism), and liver and kidney failure.
As long as Koty is happy and energetic logic tells me those things that the Cushing's may cause are being held in abeyance for the time being.
