I questioned that in my mind also as the last time she had to be fasted, but they said she didn't this time. I am wondering why??? I am going to call there tomorrow morning to make sure. I am a nervous wreck about if this tumor has grown. I am trying to stay busy and it just keeps replaying over and over in my mind. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
I am still having some residual pain in my back around my shoulder blade and around the muscle on my chest wall. It is quite bothersome and I hope it goes away soon. Tipper had a good nite sleeping with some noise. The congested sound I had been hearing is for the most part not evident right now thank goodness. This cooler weather is really helping her so much. It is really damp, and the sky is black and we are supposed to get rain. Tipper has already walked. I started really cutting into her food allowance to the point where I am counting nuggets in an attempt to rectify this weight gain once and for all. I am trying to keep busy as I am really nervous about the ultra sound Tuesday and then Wednesday the ACTH and blood work. I have just a tightening in my chest, and a sick feeling in my stomach from worrying about all this. I am trying to stay busy so todays project is dusting in the house. I absolutely hate to dust, I would rather scrub 20 floors. I have an older man that is not well that lives near me and I gave him some vegetable soup yesterday, and he was so happy to get it since he does not cook. Tipper will be ok today as long as there is no thunder, so I am hoping it is just rain. Blessings

Patti,
I wonder if a warm bath with Epsom salts would help you?
Try to relax, I know that you're worried but it sounds like your vet is finally in your corner. He'll help Tipper with whatever she needs. Hugs.
I was going to say the same thing. Relax. Worrying does no good but stress you out. You can't control tomorrow you can't control the ultrasound. It is what it is. Enjoy today. Live in the present. Tipper is with you today. Enjoy her! Maybe it's because it is Thanksgiving in Canada but that's how I'm feeling today. You have to enjoy and be thankful for what you have today. And tomorrow be thankful for tomorrow. Stop worrying and live for today :) Here's a challenge for you. Try to catch your negative thoughts and turn them into positives. For example, my boobs hurt from that mammogram becomes "yay. I've got healthy boobs!" So many women don't. Hugs. Nikki and Kaibo.
Hi Everyone:
I forgot to mention I had started Tipper on the Hawthorne for her heart yesterday. The cardiologist told me it can cause gastro upset. I mixed it in her food. I did hear some gurgling of her stomach last nite so I am going to give it in the am instead. That way she has more food all day long and it will be less likely to upset her system. She slept well with little noise, and seemed more calm when breathing, and less effort to do so. I am hoping this continues to help her. Leslie is a lifesaver with the knowledge of all things herbal. She has saved Tipper and I numerous times and I cannot thank her enough. It is cool here this morning and Tipper has already walked. Yesterday she seemed to have an over abundance of energy. I need to get all her things together and in the car so tomorrow morning we can get out of here without a hitch. I heard we are to get real fall weather in a few days and that will be great for my Tipper. Blessings

Patti: I have been thinking of you all week, I know all too well the sick feeling that you have in your stomach I,m right there with you and Tipper. I pray that it hasn,t grown any and that you and Tipper can finally relax just a little as I know you worry.
Woody goes tomorrow for another US as well and some more tests so fingers crossed we can both post good updates tomorrow night, you and the lovely Tipper will be in my thoughts tomorrow ;)

Hi Patti,
Hmm, well that makes me wonder if the breathing sounds are connected to the heart issues then, if the Hawthorn is helping wit that. Hopefully it will continue to help her out.
Hoping that tomorrows appointment is smooth sailing with some good news at the end of the day. I know it's going to be exhausting after everything you just went through at your own doctors appointment, so try to take it as easy as you can.
As always you know we are all right there with you in spirit.
hugs,
sharlene and molly muffin
Sharlene:
I don't think so , but at any rate she is seeing the cardiologist in November to see how her heart is doing, and get an xray to check if there is any enlargement. I think because this Hawthorne opens their blood vessels and lets more blood flow to the heart it is just making it easier on her. Also it will regulate blood pressure either up or down and that is amazing in itself. How is Molly doing with the stairs? Hope it is all working out for the #1 child. She certainly could not have a better life than with you. I hope she continues to do well. Blessings
