Mira, 7yr old Husky - Cushings ruled out; liver cancer (Mira has passed)

Looking for a cooler spot. It's not warm where she was. Kiras in her spot now. Could the drugs be making her hot? Like the anti diarrhea med? She had one of those at 9am. Still panting. Cackling. Now stopped. It doesn't sound urgent. Maybe I'll try to go back to sleep.

She eat a ton yesterday but very little today

Yes, the meds could be making her feel warmer than usual causing her to seek out cool spots to lay. Tramadol is the human drug Ultram and I can't take it. It makes me vomit convulsively for hours after just one pill! :eek:

Glad to know she has eaten some today. Fluctuation in her appetite is not surprising either. The meds for one thing. So as long as she eats some, that's good.

Go get a nap...sweet dreams.

Hugs,
Leslie and the girls - always

Honey, there is only so much you are going to be able to do for her pain and you are working hard to help her. Give the meds time to kick in and maybe she will be able to rest a bit.

With the masses on the liver and chest, it is expected that she will pant a great deal. Her lungs are being compressed, making it harder for them to work properly. Accelerated breathing is going to make her heart work harder so you will see an increase in heart beats as well. All of this is to be expected so try not to let it get to you so badly. I know how hard that is to do. :(

Has she eaten anything today?

All of that makes since. Likey this is how it will be maybe. Thank you. She's been quiet for about ten minutes the Tramadol must have kicked in. The Gab didnt work then? Or maybe the combination did? Or maybe the spell past? Pluse is 80 I think or that might be resperation it hard to tell her chest is bouncing so.

She doesn't look stressed. She isn't growling when I touch her now. Still not panting but she looks like she's going to. It's scary watching her chest. I know Pluse of eighty is ok. I try to sleep thank you

I'm drowning here, please.
Anyone....
I don't think I can...save myself.

Just song lyrics

I had to go out for a minute. When I got back the "Welcome Committee" was at the door waiting for me. <smile>

A welcoming committee is always a happy sight! :D

Sending warm thoughts and love from Nebraska! Hang in there - I know it is tough. Just love her. That's what she needs. Just love. xoxoxo Kim

So is asking to eat and then licking the bowl clean! Canned dog food mixed with chicken and chicken broth too. At least a cup and a half of that. I'm so proud of her. She was looking out the window too. Still panting off and on but much less often. Thank you so much for saving me today. The cancer doctor is supost to call me tomorrow and talk about the meds.

Hi There,
So glad Mira is eating and doing somewhat better---Yeah!!!!:)

Hang in there you are doing everything you can for her and she knows it because they have good senses; so take care of yourself also!! :)
