So I don't really have any more information this afternoon than I had before our vet visit… Rio's cough has definitely become more prevalent over the past few weeks, and the vet said she could hear a lot more noise in there than the last time she listened. Rio also threw up three times yesterday, but has kept both her dinner last night and breakfast today down (so far). I had them go ahead and run a basic chem panel to see if we're looking at the early stages of organ shut down or if it's something else.
Based on the results from the ACTH stimulation test, we may go ahead and take her off the Trilostane to see if the additional cortisol in her system would act as a natural prednisone and help with the inflammation in her lungs. The other option is to maybe start her on a super low dose of pred to see if that helps any. But until we get the test results back, we are basically in a holding pattern. Ugh, I hate waiting…..

In the immortal words of Tom Petty, "the waiting is the hardest part."
I hate waiting, so I hear you. I hope the results are good and that they figure out something to make her feel better!
Hang in there! Hugs and kisses to The Woo (and to Zeffy and Tosca too…but extra ones for The Woo!)

KaCee, No sneezing, runny nose or any other allergy-type symptoms… Plus, she's on benedryl 3x daily as a preventative in case her tumor "degranulates," so allergy symptoms should be covered.
The food has stayed down all day today! That makes me feel a little better. I guess I'll just try to be patient until we get the numbers back on the tests from earlier…
Thanks everybody for your support! Makes me feel like I'm not going through this alone, and that makes all the difference!!!
