My Patterdale is on long term carprofen and trilostane, if you want some anecdote.

There are no known interactions between NSAIDs and trilostane (Vetoryl). These are the drugs that could potentially interact with trilostane:

ACE inhibitors (reports of death with concurrent use), aminoglutethimide, ketoconazole, mitotane, potasssium-sparing diuretics (e.g. spironolactone, potassium supplements, high potassium foods)

sources:

Metacam, Vetoryl SPCs, Plumb's Veterinary Drugs.

Not that I'm aware of.

Funny how Cushings dogs, a lot probably undiagnosed or not fully controlled, never suffer fatal consequences of roids and NSAIDS together.

Is there a specific contraindication to using meloxicam in dogs receiving Vetoryl for Cushing's?

[/quote]I'd have thought if anything there would be less risk as there's not as much cortisone floating around.
