Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Not too bad of a nite for Tipper, some episodes of struggling. It is really hot and humid here already, and Tipper did not want to go on her second walk which is highly unusual. I hope it is just the heat index and nothing brewing up with her. It could be her luxating patella is acting up, you just never know with all the issues they have. I will monitor her closely and see if I can figure out what the problem is. I tasted Tipper's chicken yesterday. Wow what a difference in flavor from the chicken I am used to! It has a wonderful flavor, and you can definitely tell there is no salt. I am so glad I was able to find her some. What would we all do without the use of computers etc.? I would go crazy as we live in the country, and anything we need usually begins with an internet search, and followed by a purchase. I would never be able to get all the stuff I need for Tipper here. There isn't even a pet store for 40 miles. Tipper sure did enjoy her chicken though. Have a good weekend everyone. Blessings

I'm in the process of transitioning all mine over to kibble for a while to see if the chicken is causing our digestive upsets lately. I hope this chicken helps Tipper feel better!

Leslie:
Thank you I hope she feels better also. Let me know if the elimination of the chicken from the diets helps your babies. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Where the H is Mel??? I didn't think she was going to be gone for what seems like a gazillion years! I miss her checking in on Tipper. I hope she is having a wonderful time, she deserves it.
Blessings

Patti, Glad to hear Tipper has her chicken. Hope she is enjoying it.
Hope you and Tipper had a good weekend.
Hugs

Hi Patti,
I am glad to hear that Tipper loved her chicken, yum! You sure have a great mom to do that for you Tipper!:D Thankfully she didn't struggle to breath too much last night.:) I can't imagine living so far away from everything.

Mel is on a well deserved vacation. I miss her too!:o xxxxx

So glad you found the chicken and that Tipper likes it, keep up the good work Tipper.....sending hugs and prayers

Chicken! Finally :)
The humidity does a job on Daisy too. I'm sure that Tipper doesn't like this either.

Daisy had luxating patella surgery in 2005.

Mel is away for two weeks so she will be back this weekend, hopefully all nice and refreshed! I miss her chats at night too! :) Glad you got the chicken for Tipper, yum yum!

Hi Everyone:
I have to go to the urologist this morning so this will be short. It is already almost 74 here and the humidity is really bad. Tipper was reluctant to walk, but finally agreed. We walked really slow, and with the cold pack on. Tipper always lays like a frog and yesterday she had her hind legs curled underneath her, which is a sign to me her knee is bothering her. I am hoping that is the only reason she is reluctant to walk. I have always felt if she is still continuing her walk, I don't need to worry as much. When she doesn't want to I get really paranoid as I have heard people on here say when their dogs got really bad they did not want to do any exercise anymore. I pray this is only temporary, as walking has been Tipper's favorite thing since she was a puppy. Early this morning around 5:00 am Tipper started with a case of the hiccups. I jostled her around a little and they went away only to come back again minutes later. This seemed odd as she has never done this. I thought maybe struggling to breathe she took in too much air. She did have some struggling last night and heavy snoring. Have to get ready and get going, I always put out Tipper's Prednisone and Benadryl for the sitter and don't want to forget. Blessings
