Okay.... interestingly enough, Ketaconazole is used to treat Cushings in some cases.... same class of drug as fluconozole... which suppress hormone production (a side effect).
I can't find the why's or wherefore's, maybe a gut feeling, but reducing the ALKP seems to be a priority and it seems the Fluconozole may have been responsible for doing that. |
Good info you dug up. Thanks! Typically the azole drugs are really rough on the liver so it would be weird if it was actually helping his liver.
I just emailed a vet I'm familiar with from the Valley Fever Center in Tucson to get her thoughts.
I'm also considering taking Scooby to a holistic-Chinese herbs-vet that I have a line on. Any thoughts on that? At least she said she would do the darn Cushings test through her office.
