Vetoryl is used to treat Cushing's syndrome (also known as Cushings disease or hyperadrenocorticism). This is a hormone problem associated with abnormally high levels of cortisone in the blood stream of affected dogs. The main symptoms caused are excessive thirst and hunger. It also affects the dog's appearance and reduces its quality of life. Dogs may show hair loss, weight gain, lethargy, loss of bladder control and a bloated stomach.The capsules need only be administered once each day (usually best in the mornings) and are given with food. The vet can also monitor your pet to ensure there are no major side effects and to adjust dosages if necessary as the condition improves.Cushing's disease is a condition that will be present in the dog's system for the rest of its life and will need to be treated continually. Vetoryl tackles this problem in the pituitary and adrenal glands. Cortisol levels are reduced which leads to a reduction in symptoms and Vetoryl can make a difference in just three months.The capsules are available in four strengths depending on the size of the dog and should only be prescribed by a vet. (Vetoryl 10mg capsules, Vetoryl 30mg capsules, Vetoryl 60mg capsules and Vetoryl 120mg capsules). There are a number of contra-indications which should be taken into consideration prior to treatment. Dogs that are pregnant or who have problems with the liver or kidneys should not take this medication.
