Oh Carole, I am sad to hear that Skippy continues to suffer so greatly.
I have not much more to offer other than comfort and supportive thoughts as you both continue to fight the good fight.

Carole,
I only have a minute but I wanted to support the idea of not putting Skippy back on trilo.
With Mojo, it is very clear to me that his tumor grew swiftly (more swiftly than it would...
Hi!
My dog, Mojo, definitely suffered the same issue - once we started treating with Vetoryl and the cortisol was reduced the tumor grew and neuro symptoms worsened.
I did not have a brain...
I am so deeply sorry for your loss - your post actually helped me today.
I lost my Mojo in May too - May 20th - after a battle with Cushing's for what seemed like an eternity but was really about...
Carole,
I am so happy to hear of this progress - Skippy is seriously a warrior.
With all that is ailing him, he still fights and he now has an even better chance at improved quality of life...
YAY SKIPPY! What a little trooper he is ...
So glad it went as well as can be expected. Hoping that you see some good results very soon.
Carole - oh, my heart is breaking for you. I felt the same during Mojo's journey and it is soul crushing.
They are so much stronger than we ever think - Skippy is a little warrior and I wish...
Carole,
This is wonderful news - so happy to hear that Skippy's CT did not show anything alarming.
These doggies are such troopers ... looking back now, I am amazed at how brave and strong my...
Carole -
My dog Cassidy (Mojo's sister) has back disc issues and when she slips one her pain manifests as panting, shaking and inability to lay down and settle. The disc slipping for a dog is...
I am so very sorry for your loss :(
Time does help, and they always have such a special place in our hearts.
May Pinkie rest in peace free of pain and suffering ...
Oh Carole, I don't have many words.
Hang in there and I pray that Skippy's pain subsides.
Both of my dogs had pneumonia when they were puppies and made full recoveries if that is any...
Oh my, poor Skippy :(
My dog, Cassidy (Mojo's sister) has a back condition and when it flares up she won't settle. It is so unsettling for me ...
I totally understand how you feel right now...
Carole,
What a relief to finally have a course of treatment after all of your research. I am glad you have made a decision in what you know are Skippy's best interests.
I am hopeful that the...
Hi Linda,
No worries! I took Mojo off trilo completely because it was really just making everything worse.
I will never know if the trilo hastened the progress of the disease or if it was...
The worst symptom for my Mojo was the inappetence. He was a thin dog to begin with and not the best eater before Cushing's ... it became really the focus of our treatment once everyone figured out...
Hi All -
My Mojo is home with me now ... picked up his ashes on Thursday. I am glad to have the logistics of the whole situation over with ... now it is time to start the journey to healing and...
Carole - continued wishes for good luck and outcomes with Skippy's treatment, whatever you decide is the path forward.
It does seem that a lack of research and funding is affecting the way...
Oh Joan, we all understand the pain and I am sending you love and kindness across the miles.
Mojo died peacefully yesterday at 12:45pm in the arms of his parents. He was not alone and he was surrounded by love for his journey ...
This pain is so heavy I am overwhelmed. I did not expect...
Hi Everyone -
Well, we are at the crossroads. Mojo's slow and steady decline continues and over this past week his quality of life has really taken a hit. The muscle loss from the Cushing's has...
Hi Carole,
I am glad to read this update. Seems Skippy's quality of life is improved some and that is all we can hope for.
I relate to the exhaustion of this condition - it is literally...
I am so very sorry for you and your family. You did the right thing for Whiskey and I am sure that when you see him again he will give you lots of doggie kisses for being strong enough to relieve...
Hi Carole!
Right?!? I was annoyed with him at first but then I realized that I really never pushed for a solution on the inappetence because I was so preoccupied with trying to get the Vetoryl...
