My 10 year old female Boston Terrier has been on lysodren for a few months now,for cushings. She has had no side effects so far,only a little drowsiness.
My cocker spaniel female has been on lysodren for less than 1 year and has had some of the side effects, such as drowsiness and loss of appetite. She also has atypical Cushing's requiring medicating with melatonin. This is probably adding to her drowsiness.
My dog was diagnosed with cushings and has been on lysodren for over a year now. She is monitored by her vet regularly and is doing fine.
This drug was used on my dog for cushings
This medication has been prescribed for my Llaso Apso who was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease. The treatment has been working and he has not experienced, so far, any extreme side effects from the medication. He is a 13 year old canine, and has been on this medication for one year now. He has tremors, yet he was experiencing tremors before his diagnosis of Cushing's Disease. He is monitored regularly by his vet, to see if the dosage is correct.
Within 10 days my dog went into kidney and liver failure from lysodren and died in a very awful and painful way. She went into hypoadreanic crisis withing 4 days and became Addison's for the remaining month of her life. The possible side affects can be found online, but I was not aware at the time. One of the worst experiences of my life watching this happen.
