I wish you the best of luck with everything you are doing for Tipper.
Everyone:
By chance I just learned from a previous patient that the Holistic Vet I was going to take Tipper to, ordered many tests on her cat that was not eating. After hundreds of dollars, her regular Vet found that the cats only problem was a bad tooth. Due to that little tid bit I have cancelled my appointment and am in search of a new Holistic Vet. Will let you know what happens. I wanted to tell anyone that has a baby with snoring or breathing problems that the vaporizer I used on Tipper last night helped a lot. She had a more peaceful night.
Thank goodness you found out about the vet before you went. Im glad to hear Tipper had a good night and the vaporizer is working.
You are doing a fantastic job!!
Addy:
Thanks I am trying my best to help her. Some things work out and others don't so all I can do is keep looking for that miracle.
Oh yea, glad you found out about that before you went. sheezzz
We just keep doing what we can for them and looking for the next step.
Good news about the vaporizer!

Hello Everyone:
Just a short update on Tipper. The vaporizer has worked out great for my girl. She is able to breathe with a lot less difficulty now, so if your dog is snoring give it a try. She will be having an ACTH coming up next week, a urine test, and an ultra sound to see where we stand with the adrenal glands etc. This will be her first ACTH since she started on 30 mg Vetoryl in the morning. I hope her number is not too low as I did read about the adrenal necrosis that comes with that. Are you all using cranberry to ward off the bladder infections, if not hwat are you using and does it work? I started Tipper on the Heart Health, and Glyco Flex on Friday. I truly hope it can help her situation. I wish the Heart Health capsule was not so large as it is hard to disguise with enough food without choking her as she gulps it. She really needs to support her heart so I will have to deal with it somehow. I just wish these companies would think things thru before manufacturing them. It would be a blessing to have it as small as the Vetoryl. This girly is taking more supplements than me!. Tipper is still having a lot of muscle contractions in her back legs especially, I can even see her eyebrows twitching as she sleeps. I hope this is a side effect of the Vetoryl and not a sign that the cortisol is not under control. I have asked that question several times so if anyone has the answer please let me know. God Bless us all and all the fur babies.
Great news about the vaporizer working! Hopefully the supplements will work and we are all watching for those results very carefully on your thread.
I think the only way to tell if something is due to cortisol being uncontrolled vs a vetoryl reaction is for an ACTH test to be done to see where the cortisol is at. If the test next week, shows her in a good level for her cortisol, then you can more than likely attribute the leg contractions to the vetroyl. I'm basing that on what what others on the medicine has reported.

Sharlene:
As always thank you for the information, you are always a great help to us. I have to take Tipper for her blood pressure tomorrow, and the roads etc. are really bad here we got lots of snow over night. Hope all the babies are doing well, God Bless.
Be careful and just take it slow on the roads. I left the office early today as we are getting a bit and the roads got messy. Thank goodness I took the 4x4 in to the office today. I'm a lousy winter driver I admit and prefer to not be on the roads at all. If I am though, I want 4 wheel drive to be able to get out of the way if someone else gets into trouble (or myself).
Crossing fingers for a good BP tomorrow! (remember if it's too bad, then a BP can be rescheduled)

Hi everyone:
Took it slow today and got Tippers BP done. She was very excited this morning and I couln't even get her ready. I think she thought she was going for a walk. She hasn't walked for the last 3 days because of the temperature, and she is getting wild. So her BP was up high today at 190. That really scares the heck out of me. I brought her haome and made her lay down a while to calm down.. It has never been this high, and I think because she was so excited before we left that it caused this reading. Tipper is such high energy that she has to walk and burn it up. God Bless us all and all our babies.
