Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Thanks for checking in on my girl I appreciate it. Early this morning she got up with a tummy ache. I hurried and put on my coat and took her out, I was waiting for diarrhea, but she was just wanting grass to eat, and it is deep with snow. After several attempts of her sticking her head thru it to get grass she peed. No poop thank God. So I brought her in and gave her some chicken. When her stomach gets sick like this she must have food or it will not stop. She was ok in about 20 minutes. This morning I gave her 1/2 of the rantadine for acid that the IMS told me to use. She is bored and laying at my feet snoring. Last nite she had a really congested sound- remember she has had no Vetoryl for a few days and the cortisol is creeping up I guess. Like I said when uncontrolled she really makes this noise. I also noticed mucus in the corners of both of her eyes this morning. I will give her an antihistamine later as she has just had her Ursodiol now. I am not wanting to stress her out at the vets. He is in until Wednesday so I may wait it out until tomorrow to see if she goes potty ok. I have not heard from the nutritionist yet so I am waiting to hear from her. It is about 7 degrees here this morning, and no walking for Tipper and Toby again. I have to take Toby Thursday for a hair trim before they get so busy for Christmas. I have been keeping his hair shorter than I used to because it is easier to keep up with. If Tipper is in a good mood I may try her snowsuit on her and take her picture. She may think she is going to walk then so that will not be good. Blessings

Glad Tipper is feeling a little better. Woody is the same if he goes to long without food he eats grass and once fed he is fine. My vet called it reflux, where the acid in the tummy comes back up and eating grass soothes it for them. I always feed woody a little something at bedtime to see him through the night as this is usually when it happens to him and fingers crossed it has worked for many years for him. Maybe you could try that with Tipper.

Would love to see Tipper in her snow suit :D

Tracy:
I do have to give Tipper something every nite at bedtime too. That is funny that they both have that issue. I am calling the vet and making an appointment to get her electrolytes checked after this two day stuff with the diarrhea I don't need something happening to her from me not wanting to take her, but she gets so stressed and I was trying to avoid that. Blessings

If Squirt's breakfast is late, she is apt to vomit a bit of bile. I often give her a treat when we first wake up to help prevent this. I think it's just from her tummy being empty as she has done this all her life.

Hi Everyone:
I got on here to tell all of you I am taking Tipper to the vets at 3:40. I have gotten her this far and I am not letting something happen to her now over a vet fee. I will just not pay a bill too bad!. She just had a solid poop I am so happy. With the Cushings and her heart especially, even though I have checked her and hydrated her I need to know in black and white that her electrolytes are not out of balance before starting the Vetoryl tomorrow. I will talk to him about her breath too and the dental cleaning. I have a few more lumps to show him also, might as well get it done while I am paying a fee. I am just sick at my stomach learning Woody collapsed again. God help them I am praying for them both. Poor Tracy she has had enough. Blessings

Yay Tipper... solid poops are good :)- I'm thinking about about Tracy and Woody too... such a scare!!

Hi Everyone:
I can hardly even think today I am so worried for Woody. This ss awful Tipper has not been to the vet yet we don't go for 2 more hours. I will let you all know what he says. Pray for Woody and Tracy everyone.
