Hey! Given all the issues that you mentioned, I recommend that you speak with your dog's vet that is familiar with his case about additional medications/supplements for all of his conditions! -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Galliprant should be fine but I recommend that you have comprehensive bloodwork done on him before starting an NSAID! -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Calcinosis cutis is often a secondary condition that can occur due to diseases like Cushing's syndrome. So, managing the primary disease, in this case Cushing's, is a crucial part of the overall treatment strategy. For Cushing's, there are several treatment options available, including medications such as trilostane or mitotane. These can help regulate the amount of cortisol produced by the body, thus managing the symptoms of Cushing's. As for the calcinosis cutis, treatment is typically aimed at reducing discomfort and preventing complications. This might include pain relief, wound care for any ulcerated areas, and antibiotics if there's an infection present. In some cases, if the calcinosis cutis is severe, surgical removal of the larger deposits might be considered. However, this is usually a last-resort option, as surgery can be risky and there's a chance the deposits could return. Diet can also play a role in managing these conditions. A balanced, low-fat diet with plenty of calcium and vitamin D can help regulate calcium levels in the body. Of course, every dog is different, and treatment plans should be tailored to the individual. It's important to work closely with your vet to develop the best plan for your pup. Regular follow-ups and blood tests will also be key to monitor your dog's response to treatment and adjust as necessary. Remember, while it can be challenging to manage these conditions, with the right care and treatment, many dogs with Cushing's and calcinosis cutis can still live happy, comfortable lives. So keep your chin up! Your furry friend is lucky to have such a dedicated caregiver.

Hey! I am a small animal veterinarian. However, I do have horses myself and Regumate is a hormone drug used in horses to suppress their estrus cycle to help with behavioral modification. Since, the adrenal glands are involved where steroids are released as well as sex hormones there could be some effect on the adrenal glands there. I would discuss this more with your local equine veterinarian who has no experience. I hope this helps! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Yes it is safe to give this for diabetics on Vetsulin and Vetoryl. There are thousands of dogs in this same position as yours who continue to take their monthly prevention with no issues. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! Yes you can! Bravecto or Nexguard is safe. I hope this helps! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Your veterinarian, that prescribed them (and who has access to his history and bloodwork) is definitely the best one to consult about that.

Your veterinarian, that has access to all of his medical records and history and clinical signs, is definitely the best one to ask, but in general, we use Denamarin for most liver specific issues.

Your veterinarian, that has access to all of your dogs records, bloodwork, etc. is the best one to ask about this. (I can't recommend products that arent specifically made for and tested for dogs on this platform either.)

Often this will be a sign of diabetes, kidney failure or Cushing's disease - all treated very differently so see your veterinarian for some blood work and a urinalysis to see what is going on. Keep your dog for urinating for a couple of hours before the appointment, because they will probably want a urine sample as well.

Since drinking a lot of water and increased appetite are two of the main symptoms, if his preliminary, routine bloodwork suggest Cushing's, I would go ahead and test for it.

I would definitely wait to increase her Vetoryl until you see your veterinarian tomorrow to determine exactly what is going on - it can have serious side effects, so it's great that she is responding to the lower dosage.

Yes - there is no adverse interaction between the two drugs. I would spread them out throughout the day and not give at the exact same time just to not upset the stomach.

I don't see that we carry that exact medication but this is the Ask the Vet section for medical questions, so contact customer service for that exact product.
