Cushing,hypothyroidism and garlic suppllement

My 14 years old Husky mix girl is on her Trilostane 120 mg medication for almost 2 years and or Levothyroxine 0.6 mg for almost 3 years.
4 months ago I add to her diet a "Fresh Factor" supplement and her body respond beautifly - her furr is back to almost full glory!
For last few weeks I'm trying to introduce a "Bug-Off" garlic supplement  (trying to avoid ticks in Wisconsin  !!), but she is getting very unconfortable at first (crying,pacing and sometimes vomiting) and later she is very lethargic.
I know - my old dog has a "good" and "bad" days - we live with a hypothyroidism and Cushing disease for a long time.

My Question:
Did garlic supplement interfere with other medications or my dog is allergic to it?

She was expose to garlicky food all her life.

It's time to take your dog in for a vet exam.  I would also stop the garlic supplements until you find out exactly what is going on.  Crying, pacing, vomiting and lethargy are serious symptoms that something is badly wrong.  It's not something to be treated homeopathically, and you need a firm diagnosis as to what is causing the symptoms.  

At 14, your husky has lived a VERY long life.  Congratulations to you for taking such great care of her that she's live this long.  At the same time, she may have one or more organs failing due to her advanced age.  You can't make treatment decisions without more information, so make that call to a vet the sooner the better.

I would watch it with the garlic. Onions are so toxic for dogs, and garlic is only one step removed, it is so very like onion in many ways. Some dogs seem to be able to handle these garlic supplements, and some don't, and it can cause vomiting if they don't. Even if she has been eating garlic laden food for years, she could have extra sensitivities, or less tolerance as she grows older.
I'm not 100% sure garlic supplements are right for dogs. (yes, they probably work against ticks because the smell of garlic exudes through the skin, so the ticks are put off biting) There seems to be two camps concerning giving dogs garlic: some people say yes, some people say no, it's toxic, and definitely no.
Personally, I wouldn't.

I did stop the garlic.My dog is much better after 3 days !
I've learned my lesson ; "do not fix something what is not broken!"
I will try to deal with ticks when they come.
Thank you

I hear that a dog collar with drops of Geranium essential oil put on it will deter ticks. I can't definitely tell you it works. I tried it once but am unsure. Where we go for walks in the summer, there are some tick-infested areas and some areas not so bad...and it was hard to tell for sure when I tried the Geranium oil, whether my dog didn't get ticks on her because of the oil, or because we hadn't walked in a "hot-spot"...?
But maybe you could try that.
