Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

My first thought with breath, is not necessarily are the teeth in bad shape if they are taken care of, but what has changed in the diet. If nothing at all has changed, then back to whether or not the teeth are okay or not.
You can look at them and see if there is any plaque and how the gums look. That will give you an idea at least of eliminating or narrowing down possibilities.

I know that if Molly get anything with liver in it, that it's going to be rough for the entire household. Her breath smells, her toots can clear a 5 mile radius at least. There are just some things that they will belch up, etc. If there is anything new or different in the diet that might be the culprit.

Hope Tobers continues to do better, it's a good sign that he kept his dinner down. You just never know with these guys what they will pick up from where.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

i'm new here on this forum and i read a lot about supplements. is there a list on this forum? my cushing dogs only get some extra vitamins and omega 3 fish oil. they are on a barf-diet all their life.
and is there a reason why you are giving the vetoryl in 2 different parts? i give it in 2 equel parts with 12 hours in between.
thanks for your answers.

before he was getting vetoryl, my eldest cushing dog ian was trembling over his whole body when getting tired during walks. the last time this happened he collapsed totally. i went to the vet and after some tests he was put on vetoryl and they stopped completely. no more trembling since the day he was put on vetoryl [nov 23]. l'm glad but may be it can come back? his muscles in his hindquarters are much stronger so it seems. and this all in 3 weeks with an almost 13 year old dog. hope it stays this way. he had no tremors during his sleep.
can you also tell me about tippers diet? thank you gr iris.

Hi Patti that is so interesting you bringing up Tippers breath. I'm having the same problem with Buddy and I didn't even think of the change in diet until Sharlene mentioned it. I wonder if that is the problem with my Buddy. I used to brush his teeth but my fault I stopped doing it because he hated it and now he won't let me touch his teeth. I tried brushing them today and he took a fit. I cannot stress him out so I guess he won. I hope you figure out Tippers problem.

Hiya Patti.... Keesh's breath would knock your sox off. It's a combination of his teeth and I think his liver. I bought the milk thistle tablets and give him 1/2 dosage that adults take. He improved literally in a day. I don't always give it to him, but you can bet he certainly gets it before his hydrotherapy as both myself and therapist are at head level in the water with him. I'm going to get his teeth cleaned possibly in the new year, as all his blood work says he should be able to withstand the anesthetic, but I'm pretty leery of doing it at his age.

The milk thistle won't hurt anything so maybe it's worth a try. Just buy the pure brand, no additives. I got mine at Walmart, not very expensive.

Hope Toby is feeling better and you are taking care of yourself as well.

Hugs from Keesh and myself.

Judi:
Id already give Tipper milk thistle. I am going to fax a note to my vet. He was not there this morning when we had the Bp done. Tipper gained weight again. The Bp was good at 130. I will let you know what the vet suggests. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well another day and the supplements did not come so I will be calling when I am done here. Tipper had good Blood pressure today at 130, but gained weight again. This is going to make me crazy. The vet was not in as usual so I will fax a note and ask him for a plan on cleaning her teeth and seeing if something is wrong in her mouth. She went in her crate again last nite so no video. This dog is too ____ smart for her own good. I am going to just have it out with these supplement suppliers if they do not have a good explanation for this. It 's enough already. I need to get her on a diet as of 2 weeks ago, and I am not waiting any longer. It is 15 degrees here so not walking again today. The sun is out but it is very deceiving. Blessings

So happy to hear Tipper had a good bp reading That's wonderful! How is Toby feeling?

Toby is his old self this morning. Not exactly sure what it was but he is fine now. I am glad as he gets real stressed out at the vets and I am happy he does not have to go now. Blessings

Can't believe the supplements are still not in!? That's a long wait on those things. Any chance you can get them from somewhere else?

I just got in the Wysong supplements I ordered (through Amazon), and they are really great. It is so nice to put away all my old supplements and have just one that covers everything! I still have to add fish oil... but not adding separate calcium, green food, probiotics, and regular vitamins/minerals is so very nice!
