wonderful news Addy!
Dear Addy
Zoe's coat is a good sign that she is getting the nutrition she needs and something is working. Ya good news!
HUgs Sonja and Apollo
Wow, Addy!!!
That is all FANTASTIC news!!! I'm so happy for you. I can picture Zoe doing the "bull" and know exactly what you are describing because my friends Jack does that EVERYTIME! :p
I am a firm believer that less is more sometimes. If there is no urgency for the stim, why do it? Let her enjoy some vet-free time with no stress on her!! We are loving that right now! Alivia has somehow managed to completely recover from cushing's. :D I know that's not supposed to be possible but none of her vets can explain it. I'll try to post pictures of her later tonight or tomorrow.
Addy so happy Zoe is showing some improvement with her coat and her poo has been good!:D Maybe the Fall and the good nutrition will bring on a nice coat!! LOVE THE BULL!!!!!!:D:D
Hi Addy-
So glad to hear Zoe is doing so well!

Dear Addy
Who would have thought a good pop would bring a smile to us and Zoe.:p Sorry have not posted recently. Just overwhelmed with life,and all the appointments for Apollo.

Thank you all so very much. Zoe is definitely growing an undercoat. Her tummy and chest area which were shaved for her ultrasound remain pretty bare but since I was not expecting ANY coat improvement, I'll take what we have:D:D:D
She is adjusting to the lower metronidazole dose quite well and I started adding another teaspoon of Zeal to her raw diet. We had a bit of a colitis rebellion with that for a few days though nothing serious and we have now adjusted to that. The colitis changes have to be made so slowly, it seems like it takes forever:(:(:(
I am thinking of trying the Slippery Elm with her evening meal. Can I buy the powder at Whole Foods?
I think she is drinking a bit more water and not sure if it is from the sudden warm weather. It is to cool off so hopefully by next week I should have a clearer pix of that.
She seems to have "off days" and I am going to keep track if that occurs after a day or two of not having her regular schedule. I read an article that stated these Cush pups need a routine, dull, boring life since they have a hard time coping with stress, especially, the article stated, during the first six months of treatment.
Her back leg does much better when we walk one day, rest the next, so that is also positive. Keeping track of the positives!!!!!;););););) She is still playing the hot dog game with Koko, LOL.:):)
Thinking of you all and all of your pups and hoping it is all good this week for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Addy
Hi Addy,
I had a hard time finding the Slippery Elm in the powder form but found it at Henrys. I did not want the magnesium that is in the pills. Make sure not to just just sprinkle it on the food as it will absorbe many times its own weight in water and may take fluids from Zoe. Kim and Lori helped me with recipes for simmering it on the stove. Im so happy Zoe is doing so well. Figures she would start growing hair when it is so hot!
Love,
Rene & Snoop
Here is the link to the slippery elm that I used: http://www.naturessunshine.com/us/pr.../sku-1391.aspx It is a powder form...hope this helps. Continuing to send love, hugs, and positive energy...Lori
Dear Addy
Just checking in on you and Zoe. Like everyone, grieving the loss of yet another one of our cushing babies, Snoopy.
What do you use slippery elm for?
