Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Patti did you ever try the melatonin with Tipper?

We had just a few rumbles and then just wind and rain, maybe you wont get the thunder.

Hi Everyone:
I am so tired. Last nite the rain started really heavy, some rumbles and Tipper immediately ran to the closet. Very early this morning about 4am I could hear her tummy noises going really bad. I got up and took her out and she proceeded to eat part of the lawn, and would not stop. I brought her in and fed her right away and gave her and acid reducer. So that meant Toby was up too, then Elvis. I am tired. Everyone is fed and Tipper is on high alert laying at my feet on her snuggly blanket. It is still pouring and the wind has started. Addy I was going to get the melatonin on Monday when I go to the Dr. as I have someone to watch Tipper then. Too bad this had to happen before. I am going to wait an hour after the Vetoryl and give her Bendadryl. If she sleeps all day that is better than the alternative happening. I wonder if I put her in my car in the garage tonite if it would reduce the noise. I would sleep there with her if it would. I will have to go in the car this afternoon and see how well you can hear what is going on out there. I can't believe this had to start with this weather when she was doing so well. Blessings

I would try 3mgs of melatonin, dont buy time release, you want plain melatonin.

Addy:
How long does it take to work as I am wondering when to give it to her? Thanks

according tothis when storms are predicted.

Addy:
I got the 3mg. There is a small drugstore in this town. I took Tipper and ran up there. Thank God they had it. I never go there as they are outrageously expensive, so I had no idea they sold it. We are getting all kinds of advisories so have already given her one. Should I give another at bedtime? Thank you
Patti

I like to have the melatonin in their systems at least an hour before the storms are supposed to start.

Leslie:
Is it OK to give her more at bedtime? There are tornadoes everywhere, and loud thunder. I am so scared for Tipper, I hope his melatonin works. I am very concerned about her eyes. Are you getting any of this? Isur hope not, especially for Squirt's sake. Blessings
Patti

we have the same weather with tornado warnings, crazy- Patti I know for sure Tipper can have it every 12 hours. I believe every 8 hours for thunder and anxiety may be ok but I am hoping some one else will confirm this.

Stay safe everyone!!!!!!!!!
