Having trouble getting Brooke's Cushings under control

Brooke had her regular test done in November to assess her Cushings and her cortisol levels had dipped too low. Since then we have taken her off her medication to allow her cortisol to increase and are now in the process of finding the right dose for her. We have retested and started giving her meds twice/day. This test involves taking blood, injecting a stimulant and then two more blood tests at 1 and 2 hours after the injection. Needless to say it is not very plesant for Brooke and is quite costly for the rescue. We are hoping that this dosing will get her under control again.
Brooke is enjoying her treat dispensing toys and has learned how to use her feet to get kibble out of her purple ball. It is fun to watch her work at it.
