Hi Biscuit- Hansel, our 16 year old dachshund, has been on Lysodren for 3 years for Cushings. It supresses his over-active adrenal gland, and has helped with his symptoms of drinking huge amounts of water and constant urination. We have to have him tested yearly to adjust the dosage. The medicine is expensive, about $90.00 for 6 months, and the blood work is up there too; I think it was $150.00 the last time we had it done. He has done really well on this up to now. He has always been a cranky not-very-nice dog, and now we think he may live another 3 or 4 years: "Only the Good Die Young".
