Managing Cushing’s Disease in Pets

I first started observing a marked increase in weight and lethargy in my pet Zove. The belly had bulged and her body was sagging a bit. She even seemed to pant more these days and was sleeping sporadically at times. Slowly she started being irritable and restless all the time. We thought it was all because age was catching up with her.

However, her frequent stomach upsets and hair loss started worrying me a lot. So I decided to consult the veterinarian for something to ease her discomfort. Zove’s physician prescribed some blood and urine tests after doing the routine physical examination.

Now imagine my bewilderment when the veterinarian said that her cortisol was high and he needed an ultrasound to trace the tumor. A few days later we were told that Zvoe has Cushing’s disease from the pituitary gland. He advised that she has to be given vetoryl medicine orally every morning for the rest of her life. This will block the excessive production of cortisol in her body. He even warned that lack of treatment could lead to diabetes, seizures or even heart failure.

I immediately faxed the prescription to www.petrx2go.com/ to source the medicine. I have used this online pet pharmacy to purchase metacam for dogs and other such tick medicines. The prices are low, delivery is quick and quality is reliable. The best part is that refilling the prescription is easy and I don’t have to rush to a pharmacy with the prescription everytime.

Vetoryl for dogs has indeed made my Zove comfortable, healthy and little active once again!
