Thank you so much for your comments, very realistic and sensitive. He had the xrays (which showed minimal movement surprisingly) and had all the bloods after the meds started which showed the levels to be well under control. He did come down on analgesia but went up again the last few days. The...

I have an Irish Draught who is 16.1 and is 23 years old. In the last 18 months he was diagnosed with cushings and subsequently treated with prascend and has been very well on that until about 7 weeks ago when he could barely walk. We called the vet who initially thought it was an abscess and to...
