My dog has Cushing's, muscle/bone issues. Is nandrolone safe?

Question

Hello. My dog has cushings and he's 10 years old. He didn't start Vetoryl yet but he will next week. The problem is he has muscular atrophy and bones problem and the vet recommended to give him LaurabolinP.A which is a steroid (nandrolone) I am skeptic about it, should i give him? What are the side effects? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | 10 years and 8 months old

I can understand your concerns for Bijou. With Cushing’s disease, the adrenal glands produce too much steroid, which can result in some muscle atrophy. I have never used anabolic steroids on any animals, and from my reading, it appears that nandrolone is contraindicated in the presence of excess corticosteroids. It may be worth considering a second opinion with a local veterinarian that is able to examine Bijou and review all of his medical records prior to the onset of treatment with nandrolone. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
