There are a couple of things to discuss here. Firstly, Cushing’s Disease in dogs is often caused by a pituitary tumor in the brain, which itself can lead to neurological symptoms such as seizures. If your dog’s seizures are due to the tumor, your main goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as possible, as you have been doing. Buck Mountain Lepsilyte may be helpful here; it is formulated with natural ingredients known for their relaxing and antispasmodic properties that work on the brain’s calming pathways, and it should not cause drowsiness at the recommended dosage. Secondly, it’s important to know that the medication Vetoryl® (trilostane), commonly used to treat Cushing’s Disease, has been reported to cause seizures in some dogs. Because of this, it can be difficult to determine if the seizures are caused by the disease itself or by the medication. I suggest discussing with your veterinarian the possibility of discontinuing Vetoryl® and instead trying a more natural approach, such as our Cushing’s Support Package and Flaxseed Lignans. You can add in the Buck Mountain Lepsilyte later if it is still needed.
