<p>Thanks. I am sorry for your loss. I am in the USA and will be discussing options with my vet and also seek the advice of a vet who works beyond traditional vet meds.</p>

<p>I've had 2 bitches with Cushings, The first one died at 13years and was on Vetoryl for about 7years, the one we have now is almost 13years & she was diagnosed about 4years ago.</p>
<p>Both times the vets wanted to keep them on high doses(120mg according to their weight) but it made them worse, the correct dose for an Irish Setter seems to be 60mg once a day. I have advised other owners on this and they have also reported good results with this level of medication. </p>

<p>It is my belief that setters are very sensitive to any drugs which is why they can react badly to wormers, vaccinations & steroids etc.</p>

<p>So sorry to hear another dear little Setter has become a victim of the endocrine diseases. If I were in your shoes (and to a certain extent I am - even on a personal level as I go in the opposite direction to Cushings) I would go onto to <a href="http://www.mercola.com" target="_blank">www.mercola.com</a> and then to the healthy pets section, search on video's and watch what Dr. Karen Becker has to say about Cushings, and take what she says very seriously !

Get yourself onto the forums and ask the people there about it too, you could get some surprising answers. Had it not been for the help I got from them, my Tallulah would have died last year.</p> I am sorry about Scarlett.
