Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Oh gosh that is scary with your husband. Glad he is okay. They think he'll be alright to go back up to the mountain? I do hope so.
Awww, I bet Bondo is just adorable all snuggled up on the couch with the snow and cold outside. (I sort of enjoy that feeling myself) LOL
Good luck in the higher elevations. Check in when you get back and let us know all is well!

Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Greetings from a very chilly California this morning............
Just a quick note to let all of you know everything is just fine. Other than husband in a soft cast on his foot as he has some inflamed tendons. BONDO is doing great. He is, still, on the Trilo (30 mg.). He wieghs 22 lbs. His Cutis is beginning to clear up. He has some spots but not like before. He had a little loose stool for a few days and I was worried but that cleared up. I had changed the brand of minute brown rice I feed him so I went back to the old brand.
I will take him in again to the vet around the 1st of March where he will have the "resting cortisol" test as well as a full blood panel.
In the morning he is like a little puppy, jumping all around, playing with his toys and driving my husband crazy as he tries to get some work done on the computer. Bondo has to have his breakfast at about 8:00, wanders outside for awhile and then jumps up into the recliner and takes his morning nap. As I type this, he is outside barking like crazy at the 3 new dogs next store.
I am so blessed this dreadful disease is at bay for now. I really do not want it to rear its ugly head.
But, for now, my little Bondo is full of life and seems very happy.
Trese.

Trese, what a wonderful update!
Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Trese! What a wonderful update. Minus hubs foot of course. That just sounds terribly painful. Bondo on the other hand, is just adorable as usual. :)
How great that his skin is clearing up and he is feeling playful.

Good Evening......
Well, lots of good news. Bondo is doing great. He is, still, on the 30 mg. of Trilo each morning. He bounces around every morning (ah...if only I had that much energy) wakes me up each morning at exactly 7:17 AM and wants to eat. After eating, he will explore the front and back yard and then settle in for his morning nap. Mind you, he has been up with my husband since 6:00 AM.
Speaking of husband, foot is out of soft cast so we will see how that goes.
AND now back to Bondo, I have started giving him about 1/4 teaspoon every night of coconut oil. They say it is good for a dog's coat. He has the flaky skin just a litle bit. Has anyone one else tried the oil?
Anyway, a very HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY to each and every one of you.
Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Yay for Bondo and for hubby! :)
Isn't great when they bounce around like that in the mornings :)

Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
I forgot to ask, how did things go up on the mountain this time?

Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Great to hear the news! Coconut oil can give a bit of yucky stools so, start with a small amount to see how it goes.
Keep up the good work!!!
Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
It is lightly snowing here . We are back up at Mammoth Mountain and husband is doing well... dog is doing well and I have a cold.
Bonds sits in front of the heater or we have a heating pad with a blanket on it and he really likes it in this cold weather.
As far as the coconut oil goes I only give him a fourth of a teaspoon in his dog food at night he seems to be tolerating it very well. He still does drink quite a bit of water but no accidents in the house. He is such a good boy and I tell him that all the time... We see the vet again for blood work in March.:)
