Within 10 days my dog went into kidney and liver failure from lysodren and died in a very awful and painful way. She went into hypoadreanic crisis withing 4 days and became Addison's for the remaining month of her life. The possible side affects can be found online, but I was not aware at the time. One of the worst experiences of my life watching this happen.

My cocker spaniel female has been on lysodren for less than 1 year and has had some of the side effects, such as drowsiness and loss of appetite. She also has atypical Cushing's requiring medicating with melatonin. This is probably adding to her drowsiness.
