Hi Addy!
Guess what??? Bailey's sweater arrived today. It looks and fits great. The neck should be about an inch shorter next time....that's our only comment. It will fit her tightly, so maybe it will do the work of those Thundershirts. :D
Are yours on the way?
Love,
Sus
Hey Sus,
Mine should arrive any day. Zoe's sweaters stretched out a bit. I measured with a loose tape and I am worried I will have the opposite problem and hers will be baggy:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Her first alpacca sweater fit perfectly. Her tummy got a bit wider now and she weighs a pound more so I had Chantel increase the girth. I think I goofed on that!!!!!!!:o:o:o:o:o
Koko's throwing up the last few nights and itching his eyes. I thought he ate something outside but now that I see the eye itching I think it may be a reaction to stopping his angel eyes.
Always something!!!!!
Thank God we all feel the same. Cheers to us and our Cushing Babies. We should start a parade and walk with them and show people that we love them unconditionally. :D could not say that about most people.
P.s. just made Apollo another sleeveless tie shirt to cover his lesians so we can go out without people giving us awful looks.
Hugs Sonja and Apollo
Okay, I have a thought....miracles do happen sometimes when I think...:eek:
If you can block a sweat to make it smaller or larger--why can't you do that with Zoe and Bailey's new sweaters. I told you it was a thought and I maybe way off--which I am most of the time.:D
Happy Thursday!!!! It is almost cha cha cha time Friday!!!!
((((HUGS))))
Addy -
I was just reading back on a few of your posts that I missed. Alivia is living proof that miracles DO happen. There is no reason to give up on our babies when things get a little bit rough. 8 years ago they did not expect Ali to make it through the night! So, happy I did not give up on her then! I have had people ask why I spend so much money on her and say that she is old. I actually feel sorry for those people because they obviously have never had a "heart" dog.
I absolutely dread the day when Alivia is no longer with me. But, for as long as we have together I will continue to do the best I can for her - no matter what that is or how much it costs. Most of us probably have people in our lives that we do not talk about any of this with, because they just don't get it. I think that one of the best things about this group is that the people who come here truly get that and do not judge or criticize. We each know our dogs better than anyone. I know you will always do what is best for Zoe.
I hope Zoe continues to do well and you figure out why Koko is not feeling well! Sonja - love the idea of a cush dog parade! All shapes and sizes, some missing fur, some a little slow - but all totally loved and happy. :D
Whew, what a last few days:eek::eek::eek: Koko got better with some pepcid BID and then yesterday went outside and managed to eat A MUSHROOM:eek::eek::eek::eek: Im at work, freaking out, making phone calls, googling "mushrooms in wisconsin"!!!long story short, he is perfectly fine this morning, feeling good and I think I will continue the pepcid for a bit.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
He is going for a check up next week, I have been putting it off for too long, so much money on Zoe, but I made the appointment.
Zoe is doing very well, is awake much longer and active when I get home from work, eye drops are not a problem, she has been really good about it again and Koko's groomer said "bring her in" they can handle her, biting, special needs, whatever she needs, they dont care she does not have a rabies shot, they will always take care of our babies, quote unquote:D:D:D:D
We cut back again on Zoe's raw food, added more Zeal, Im mad they changed the formula a bit, took out green beans and added pumpkin, hopefully, that small change will not affect her but boy are her poos BIG now. On all raw, they were small.
Love you all and thanks for your encouragement. Im in for the parade and Marie, you are sooo right, we can reshape the sweaters, such a great idea, I feel like a dahhhhh;);););) why didnt I think of that:D:D:D
They finally put fans in a work so I am not being fumigated at work anymore, they were painting and the lacquor fumes were coming up my air vets:eek::eek::eek::eek: What a week:mad::mad:
ch, cha cha right into the weekend, dance, dance dance
Glad Koko is feeling better and the mushroom wasn't an issue! I know what you mean about the healthy one's check ups getting put on hold. I seem to do the same with Maxwell. He is a healthy little bugger (thank goodness!!), so I tend to put off his routine check ups...need to take him for one now.
Why doesn't Zoe have a rabies shot? Alivia doesn't either and is not permitted by her IMS to get ANY vaccinations. But, that is because of her prior episode of immune mediated hemalytic anemia. Fortunately, I have a groomer that has been seeing Max and Ali since they were puppies. In a pinch though, I tried to take her to a couple of the pet store chains...they refused to groom her even with a letter from her vet! Glad you found a groomer willing to take her! I missed the conversation about sweaters - are the special ones? Please post pictures!
Dear Addy
Glad to hear Zoe and Kudo are better.
Go through the same with the healthy one,
Karma. Throw up ,panicked, but okay today.
With this disease, you seem to be on high alert always.
Dance like you never danced before, salsa into the weekend, close that Cushing drawer.:mad::D:p;)
Hugs Apollo and Sonja(shows you were I stand)
La, la, la, la......cha, cha, cha, cha.......a one ana two ana three......let's do that country music dance.....you know the one? They step forward and back and to the side. They do that one on cruise ships to loosen guests up. I like it!!!:D:D:D
I'm up for that. A pretend crusie ship party, let's go!!!!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
eye vet visit- zoe has a divit on her cornea from what must have been an ulcer sometime durring the last month. I think it was an injury the night Koko and she played. I thought he poked her in the eye and then jumped on her. Her eye looked bad and she was squinting. But then I got confused and thought it was from trying to wash her eye out and because I had stopped her fluriprofen for 2 days.
Anyway, he said her is better but he want to still up the cyclosporine so we settled on1% not 2% for now and decided to use the gentle gel again 4 x a day.
Hubby and I are starting to wonder how much experience he has. He back pedals alot if you know what I mean and he never wants to fully explain the side effects to me. If I speak up about something, he really back peddles. Anyway, he is back to not wanting to use steriod eye drops which I have repeatedly said no to only if it is a last resort. Her dry eye is not that bad he said but she continues with the allergic conjunctivitis though it is better and these crystals are what he is really worried about.
Anyway, we have a reprieve from vets for six week which is great for poor Zoe who has been going to one or another every two weeks since the March.
I contine to be very concerned about her eye, more so than her cushings.
Otherwise we are all fine.
