Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

We just have wind advisories but no storms expected today thankfully. It sounds pretty bad north of here, tho, so ya'll stay safe!

Patti, I give it every 8 hours when storms are bad IF needed. I keep a close eye on the weather maps and such to see when fronts are moving through, how fast, how strong and go from there. If it's one front after the other rolling through, they get more than if it's one or two. When we lose power, I'm blind so to speak so do what feels right. Squirt was taking 12mg a day at 15 lbs of weight before that seizure. Sophie at 18-22 lbs gets 6mg at a time for storms, Squirt 3mg, Brick (4.8 lbs). 1mg. If they are asleep, I don't wake them for the next dose but if they react to a boom and it's been at least 8 hours, they get another dose unless the front(s) are just about through and I am able to know that.

I'm watching the radars. Stay safe all!

I hope you and Tipper stay safe and the storm doesn't make her crazy poor soul. I'm lucky the weather doesn't effect Woody except he,s not keen on the snow x

Looks like the worst should be moved out or moving out of your area.
How did it go? Tipper and the gang alright?

Patti, I thought about you guys all night. I hope Tipper did ok with all of those horrible storms and that the damaging storms missed your area.

Hi Everyone:
I had to go to the urologist so I just got back home. I have to go to the hospital for an Ultra Sound and xrays. I told him I don't want to go for the operation because of Tipper. He seemingly took it well, and said we will do this first and medication. I do not like leaving my dog, I have a terrible fear something will happen and I won't be here to help her, so this is the way I am going unless my ureter is blocked then he said I have no choice. So I gave Tipper the melatonin, and I though at first it was not going to work. We had terrible straight line winds, hard rain and thunder. She lay beside me in bed, lifted her head a few times and listened, and then conked out. I was never so overjoyed to see her sleeping. She slept for a good while then woke up and listened and got up and went in her cage. She was good for the rest of the nite. My God it was a blessing as I was scared to death she would have bleeders in her eyes again. Thanks everyone so much who helped us thru it. It is funny we had so many tornado warnings, it does not scare me in the least, but I become very scared for my Tipper, that is what I worry about. Toby barks at the thunder, and the cats just simply don't care what is going on. Elvis slept and would talk quietly in his cage when he would hear thunder. So we all made it thru very well. I am hoping all of our family on here made it safely thru also. I noticed Tipper's sides are not sticking out as much, I think she has actually lost weight from no lentils. Hopefully that will be the case when I take her Wednesday. We have very strong winds here today and many so not have power. Than God I have an outside generator that automatically comes on when the power goes out. The power company here has antiquated equipment and lines so it does go out often here. I could not live here with these animals with no power as the winters are brutal. Thank goodness I had the forethought to have that generator. It has saved us many times when the neighbors have no power in the winter. I cooked some of the beets I was given yesterday and pickled them. The rest are in the cold garage and will use a little at a time. Tipper is fine today and walked twice. I am hoping her blood work shows improvement in the triglycerides and the Reticulocytes in a month. I got the fish oil Saturday and started her on it. Blessings
Patti
