I'm sorry I did not see this thread until just now but I did have a Lhassa with Cushings. This was about 5 or 6 years ago and at that time the only drug used was Lysodren which is a very difficult drug to use. All drugs are bad but this one is especially tough on the dog. I didn't want to use it so I searched the net and found the British were using Trilostane with a lot of success and it was easy on the dog. Long story short...I had to import the drug from London but it worked very well and Candy lived several years after that without any problems. She was around 10 or 11 when diagnosed so those several years helped her live a normal live expectancy. Now, however, I see that Trilostane has been approved by whomever does that here in the U.S. so that makes it lot easier. Please don't despair, it's a serious disease but it can be controlled. It does require periodic testing and daily medication but there is hope. Hang in there your baby is worth it.
