My heart goes out to you in this trying time. I will keep you in my prayers and I know that the Great Spirit will give you the wisdom you need. Whatever you do is what is right for you and your boy. Y

This post may not win me many friends, but I feel it's necessary to say (again) since there are new members on the list. I am leery of ABC's supposed "Cushing's Study." I contacted them almost two

<I paid 180.00 for 8 oz of cypro.> Sue: This seems a little high. Did you buy it from your vet or directly from a compounding lab? I paid $165 for 16 oz of cyproheptadine, as did Kay (who loves to he

I've never seen side effects with the Permax and we've been on it well over a year. Well, technically only Jack is on it.... but you know what I mean. :-) Lou and Jack in TX www.neighnet.com
