Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Sharlene: That is so cute, a revenge shoe, my dachshund would have it torn to shreds when he was younger. Does not play much now. I hope you find out for sure Molly's diagnosis. Hopefully it will not be Cushings, but I know you will handle whatever it is with love. Hugs, JoAnne

Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Thanks Tina, we had a good weekend in Montreal.
Molly stayed over at the vets. Strange though. She was 19.6 lbs in June for the ACTH test. She was 19lbs at the LDDS test in August, this time when I took her in Saturday she was 18.6. Trying to figure that out.
She also came home with diarrhea today. She doesn't Always have stomach issues from staying at the vet. The last couple time they only gave her dry dog food, no treats or wet food when she was there and she did fine. This time though sure enough, upset tummy. I think it is because she gets a lot of separation anxiety when she is away from us, or at least when she is staying at the vet.
Hugs,
Sharlene

I hope Molly's tummy settles down and am glad she made it through staying at the vet's.
Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Molly's tummy was fine by the evening and I started her on her Hepato support supplement today. She seems to be doing fine. She certainly had a lot of energy when I got home today! hahaha
hugs,
Sharlene

Lots of energy is a good thing. I am so glad to hear that Molly is doing better with her tummy issues.
Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Sharlene: So glad Molly is better with the diarrhea. If CoCo eats more than usual he will get diarrhea. Glad to see you on again and hope you have a good week. Love JoAnne
Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Well the diarrhea was just based upon anxiety from being at the vets it looks like. I hate that she gets so upset but there is no one else that can take care of her really when we are away. We have a trip coming up where she is going to be boarded for 10 - 11 days, so I have a case of nerves before even leaving her.
Last night I gave her green beans for the first time. I'd never even Heard of this for a dog treat. Now, are they suppose to be just given raw, cooked, canned from the grocery or what? I gave her a few because we were having some with dinner and thought, why not. A friend tells me her dog also eats cauliflower. Carrots cooked or raw? I'm sort of new to this whole idea of veggies as dog treats.
Hugs,
Sharlene

Hey Sharlene: I did give CoCo lots of vegetables as treats before he started having so much trouble with diarrhea and he really loves them, especially the baby tomatoes and apples, but now they seem to upset his stomach. I have tried the pumpkin, but he still gets the upset stomach. I think the cushings causes it or the Trilostane, so I just watch everything I feed him now. I know you are going to miss Molly Muffin on your long trip. I am so glad we can take CoCo with us when we are going to be out of town. We are watching the track of the hurricane this morning and hoping it is gone before our trip on Friday. Of course Tunica is on the Mississippi river so just depends on what is going on Friday. Have a good week. Love JoAnne
Re: Molly, 9 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Sharlene I've done frozen green beans or cooked and chopped up.
when I tried broccoli that wasn't chopped as well she picked every single piece of it out and laid it aside LOL
