Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Well I still have not passed the stone. I see some evidence of blood and some crystals that are very tiny and gritty. I will get this taken care of when I go home on the 8th. Tipper had a decent nite. We had some thunder early evening, then just some rain later and she did ok with that. I am so elated this morning it is cool and no humidity. Tipper can walk as much as she wants as there is no sun either. Hope her legs hold out today as she put on a few ounces again. I think it is because she has not been walking as much as she usually does. She did have some episodes last nite of the congested gurgling like sounds at times. Tomorrow is shot #2 and Leslies vet told my vet it usually takes 3 to start working. I have prayed to God every nite for these shots to work for her. There are not too many options left now, but I will find more if need be. I wish for her sake the weather would stay like this until winter. She is so calm now and much happier. Blessings

Patti--Today's weather was a welcome change wasn't it!!? Got Trixie out to the park early and she was so happy, and what a relief to walk and not feel like the dog is too hot to make it home. We walked about 2 miles and it always makes for a better day when Trixie gets that exercise.
Sorry about your stone problem and hope you aren't experiencing pain. Hoping Tipper's shots will make a difference really soon!!

Patti,
your weather today was ours yesterday. Humid again and Daisy wasn't thrilled.
I'll bet that Tipper slept like a baby :)


I'm hoping that your symptoms mean that the stone is breaking up? I've never had one so I don't know what to expect. Feel better soon!

Hi Everyone:
The relief from this oppressive heat and humidity is great. Tipper walked 4 times today, yes I did say 4. So glad as she is much happier when she can walk. The exercise helps keep her weight down too. I just have to be careful of these darn mosquitoes. There is so much west nile in this state. She is a much happier dog today, and for that I am thankful. No I don't have too much pain from the stone thank goodness. Sorry you got the humidity again Valerie, as I know you said Daisy does not take it well. Hopefully we will have an early fall, and it will be cooler. Blessings

Patti,
does Tipper have arthritis? Daisy does and the exercise helps with that.
I see a huge difference when she can't go for a walk.

Hi Everyone:
I don't have too long this morning I have to get ready and try not to let Tipper see we are going somewhere. She gets really excited now, and today is blood pressure, then the 2nd shot. God I pray this works for her. She is so congested sounding at nite. She did stay in the bed for the most part last nite. I was glad to have her sleep next to me again. I try to not let her see me get ready, I close her out of my room so she can't see me. I don't want any false high blood pressures from her excitement. I wish we did not have to travel so far. Today looks like another nice day, but I heard rain Saturday and the humidity will return. Valerie, I am sure at Tipper's age she does have arthritis. She will be 12 in October. It just seems like yesterday she was a puppy. God I wish we could go back to that time. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
A big welcome back to you Mel!! We dearly missed you. Hope you had a wonderful time. Just got back from the vets with Tipper the Ripper. Her blood pressure was good, her weight was down, and she never winced for her second shot. I think I take it worse than she does. Nice day and I am going out on the porch with Tipper. Have a good day everyone. Blessings
Patti
