This medication should only be given to the pet for whom it was prescribed.
What results can I expect?
Vetoryl is not a cure for Cushing’s Disease, but can help control the symptoms. Generally improvement will be seen in several weeks. Each individual dog responds to Vetoryl differently, but the goal of therapy is to decrease the symptoms related to Cushing’s disease (increased thirst and appetite, poor hair coat, etc.). In most cases, the therapy needs to be continued for the life of the dog. If Vetoryl is discontinued, signs will reappear.
