Hi there. So sorry that Paty is having this issue. I am assuming they told you she may have Cushing's disease. So she has been on cyclosporine (ichmune) I see but I am not sure wysrolyn is.....do you have another name for it? The first thing you need to do is have her tested for Cushing's disease to see if that is actually what she has. If she does have it then there is medication to control it. Here is a link to an article about this disease that may answer more of your questions. http://www.canismajor.com/dog/cushings.html The bottom line is that you need to work with your local vet to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. That is not something we can provide over the internet. Once you get a diagnosis we can help you with questions you may have. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
