We're babysitting a dig who takes Vetoryl (10mg) and my dog has just eaten the food the other dog's pill is in. Do I need to worry?
A single dose of this size of Vetoryl will likely pose no serious risk of toxicity. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea or loss of appetite. See your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.

Good morning! My 13 year old lab will start taking 120 mg of Vetoryl tomorrow. I'm leaving on vacation next Saturday for a week but I don't want to wait to start him on the medication. I'm concerned about the onset of side effects. Should I wait?
Hi there. I would recommend discussing this with your regular veterinarian to see what they recommend. For my clients, I generally want them to monitor the dog closely for any problems (appetite changes, vomiting or diarrhea, lethargy, etc.) when first starting Vetoryl, so I would likely prefer that they wait until they're back in town to start the meds. But, your vet may feel differently depending on the details of your dog's case.

My 16 year old dog has been taking Vetoryl for 2 weeks, she went herself twice today, was sick 48hrs ago ( isotope test normal at vets). She has lost weight has loose stools and no appetite and very tired . Dose 30mg. I'm worried sick.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! These are possible side effects that can be seen with the administration of this medication. I recommend that you contact your veterinarian to see if they agree knowing her medical history and if they would consider lowering the dose or using something else. I do not recommend you stop this medication without talking with them first. Best of luck!

Is there anyone who knows if is a replacement or alternative medicine for vetoryl 30 mg. This medicine is making my dog very sick so I decided to stop it, As soon as I dld that I can tell she has more energy she eats better she is back been herself.
Vetoryl (trilostane) is the best medication for managing Cushing's disease, but I'm sorry to hear that Lacy has not been tolerating it well. I have anecdotally heard of some vets using a variety of supplements for managing Cushing's disease signs, but these supplements will not ultimately decrease the cortisol production by the adrenal glands and generally seem ineffective. I don't know how long Lacy was receiving Vetoryl, but some dogs can initially become lethargic, vomit, have diarrhea, or a decreased appetite. Fortunately, these signs typically resolve after a few days to a few weeks on the medication. It may be worth discussing a temporary dose adjustment with Lacy's vet to see if she tolerates a lower dose better before gradually increasing to her 30mg dose. Some dogs also benefit from supportive measures (anti nausea medications, bland diets, etc.) in the first few days to weeks of treatment. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

Can Vetoryl cause hind leg paralysis? Depression? What is treatment for these side effects? Also what natural treatment can be used.
The most common adverse reactions of Vetoryl reported are poor/reduced appetite, vomiting, lethargy/dullness, diarrhea, and weakness. Occasionally, more serious reactions, including severe depression, hemorrhagic diarrhea, collapse, hypoadrenocortical crisis or adrenal necrosis/rupture may occur, and may result in death. Weakness of the hind limbs, yes but paralysis I would say, no. If he has paralysis he needs to see the vet right away. There is no treatment for those side effects other than adjusting the Vetoryl dosage but I cannot advise you on that. You need to work with your vet regarding this issue. He may need to be switched to a different medication all together (like Lysodren). There is no natural treatment to treat Cushing's disease in dogs but there are a couple products to help support dogs with Cushing's disease.
