Get her eyes tested too, just to make sure the vessels in the back are OK. Normal vet can do that. BP sounds good though.
You off to Budapest, love tripadvisor and always use it when planning a trip! I bet there are some cute little older style places with a ton of character to stay in!
I can't believe I missed this news on Molly!!! :eek: Our dogs have the same issue..limping, holding up paws! What the heck is it!!! :confused: I was also thinking maybe a shoulder strain?? When I massage it she doesn't seem bothered by it.
Wow, I feel like it's almost exactly what is going on with Trixie. Wish these dogs could talk!!!
How is Molly today? Any more limping? It's so worrisome. ugh. Why one thing after the next?? :confused:
I hope Molly's clears up and that she's feeling good and walking fine soon.
So..on the test results? A retest in a few weeks? For now everything is okay?
You're going to Budapest?? I was just reading the NYTimes travel section and they had the most beautiful photo of the bridges joining Buda to Pest...I would love to go someday. Trip Adviser is the best! I love seeing the user photos you can really get a truthful picture of a hotel...a great site for planning travel.

Oh, poor Miss Molly - I think Hamish did something similar many years ago when he got a grass seed in his paw. There was nothing to see but he didn't want to put it on the ground so they gave me some cream to put on and he was fine within a few days.
I haven't been to Budapest, but have heard it's a beautiful city - enjoy!!

Any thoughts?another Vetoryl side-effect?
:confused::confused::confused:
Molly is not on vetoryl so that rule's that out!
It is weird on the forum how there can be spate of similar problems, I hope the sore paw problem is banished soon!
Remember that with Cushings there is muscle wasting so I imagine that they can strain paws and other body parts more easily.
I am thinking it must have been a muscle strain at the time. She hasn't acted like it is bothering her at all since then. Hubs felt a bit of muscle spasm in the shoulder afterwards as we were massaging it. The neuro report said they checked all 4 legs and other than the luxating knee here legs are good and her back is good too now according to report so shouldn't be that.
Molly is cool with the steps up to window now but doesn't want to come back down.
Could just be some muscle strain as all these dogs are the go get'em gang. Weird that trixie has both front legs acting up though.
The other possibility is cortisol I suppose. For Molly she was just coming off what I swear was a cortisol high from that ACTH test. The dog had so much energy she was go go go. She is now back to normal and no more accidents in house. Which really makes it clear what it would be like if she had those levels constantly in her body.
I fell asleep and had this weird dream that there was a cheetah stalking Molly and I in some wasteland of a street and I had picked Molly up to protect her and then was kicking at the cheetah. Well I kicked for real too and whopped my calf a good one on the recliner. Might have a bruise tomorrow. I blame reading Cains thread and Patti's story of tipper right before I fell asleep!
I do have the report from the IMS but need to compare it to the older ultrasound report. I will give more feedback on that tomorrow. I have a headache tonight so not going to dive in or I know it will be worse.
Night all

Eeek, stalking cheetahs!! Oh you poor thing ending up with a bruised leg, no wonder you have a headache with that stress Sharlene. Be looking out for your review of the report.
I have also just been reading reports, I emailed Flynn's old surgeon at the pet hospital to get his histology report on adrenalaectomy, I never had the proper one. He has kindly sent that to me, I wanted it to show the Auckland IMS after they noted that weird lymph node in the location of his previuos adrenalectomy on the last scan. Least I have it now, as it is a new IMS I am going to do a history again and send it up with my questions so he gets fair warning of what I will be asking!
So sorry you have a headache, Sharlene :o Reading post can't possibly help, so get some rest.
I had a really freaky dream the other night. It is obvious that I read too many posts and get to know all of you and your pups. We were all at a big stadium. All of us pet parents were in the stands and all of our dogs were loose on the grass area below. We were called one by one and had to go down to the field and do a memory match game with all the dogs. We had to connect the dogs with their parents. Naturally, since this was a dream Buddy was there too. He was chasing lizards all over the field, so he was easy to identify. I was summoned over the loudspeaker to appear on the field below. I thought it was my turn. A man in a referees uniform came out on the field carrying Rosie. He said that we had to leave and could not participate. When I asked why, he said that monkeys were not allowed on the field. That this activity was for dogs and their pet parents only. He said that Buddy could stay, but Rosie had to go. Everyone then started yelling from the bleachers. Let her stay, we know she's a monkey! That's when I woke up.
Don't you feel better about your dream now? Lol xxxxxx
Hi Sharlene,
Not that Jasper needs to be a joiner with any more issues, but here is part of what I posted on Barbara and Trixie's thread from a couple of days ago:
This happened a couple of weeks ago. WTH?? :eek: :rolleyes:Quote:
I know this will not surprise you, but a few weeks ago I had a scare with Jasper like that. I was in another room and actually heard him cry out, which he never does. I went running and he was holding up one of his front legs and wouldn't bear any weight. This is the first time he has ever done this, of course. I have no idea what he did but I nearly panicked. All I could think about was what now, and what if he tore something.
I checked it over real good, and it didn't seem painful to touch, and after about an hour he seemed much better and by that night pretty much normal. Still don't know what happened, but it scared the daylights out of me for sure. He and Shelby play rough quite a bit, and now since then I am so paranoid, I make them stop.
