Boxer Dog with Cushing's disease

[Juicetin1]

Hi all, our 12 year old Boxer has just been diagnosed with Cushing's disease. She's been very healthy for an old girl but the last 2 weeks has been drinking excessively and has started toileting in the house. She is sluggish, life-less and seems really off colour. Took her to the vet who, after lab tests, has diagnosed Cushing's disease.
Does anyone have any experience of this in dogs, do they respond well to treatment, etc?
I'm desperate to try and get her sorted and wondered if anyone has had similar experiences.

Many thanks.

Many thanks for the informative reply Swiftwill.

Extremely useful Russ, thank you very much. It's good to know that yours, and hopefully our dog, responds well to the treatment. Waiting another call from the vets today and we will see where we go from there.
Thanks again.

Thanks again Russ, can I just ask how long do you think it took for the medication to start working with your Boxer? Our dog has just started them today.

No other nasties on blood tests or ultrasound and vet thinks it's "just" Cushings.

Cheers.

Russ,what medication is your dog taking for Cushings?
Ours is now on Vetoryl (Trilostane) 120mg.
