Tess, radiation therapy (Tessie has passed)

TY for finding my old thread. I searched and could not find it. It's a history of Tessie. She is in recovery from the MRI. They just called me in to talk to me. More later. TY you ALL for yur help Dottie

TESSIE does NOT have Cussings. I will post more later tonight. It was wroth the 1,322.85 for the MRI to know this. Hope yu guys are not mad at me for not being around. I have told 4 people about this site in the weighting room. I am over the top happy. Dottie

Dottie, we don't get mad at family for "not being around":):):)

I am so happy to hear Tess does not have Cushings. I have read through bits of your entire thread. You have had a long journey with Tess and she has been one lucky dog to have you.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your other pup.

Post when you can.

hugs,
Addy

TY you all for your love and support.. All your great information.. Today my sister was leaving on a 28 day road trip, but her two little furry children got out, ran down the street, when my sister thought okay I will just jump the picket fence in front of my house and get them. She forgot she is 60 a young 60, but non the less she broke her foot. She will now need a operation. Furry children are safe and warm next to there mommy at my house.. LOL:o

It's been awhile. Tessie passed away 12/5/11 of Kidney disease. She was still happy and jumping around, but she had stopped eating the night before and would not eat cooked chicken, her most favorite food of all time. I held her in my arms and we said are good byes. I gave her three extra years of life. A Real happy life. I don't recreat any of the money I spent on her. I miss her still. Now my seven year old Labrador, she has cushings. She will start on Veteral. Not sure of the spelling, but it's the same medication that made Tessie so sick that made me fine this web site so many years ago. Lindie my Labrador is 75 pounds and this medication has been here in the USA for 4 years. It was new when Tessie took it and she was only 25 pounds. I am going to need a crash course again in cushings. Could any of this be related to dog food? That is the commen denamornator. I get WD wet and dry from my vet. All my dogs have had this food for ten years. My husband thinks I am nuts. If I get one more Cushing dog after Lindie I am thinking its the food. I am going to hope for the best. Night

Hi Dotty,

I am so sorry about Tessie. She is with all our babies at the Rainbow Bridge running free.

No problem with a crash course. I am sure one of the experts will be along to check in on you.

It would be good to list any current test results so they have some info to go by. Also, what the dose is you started with for Lindie.

I am not an expert just another cush mom who has been there and done it, but lost to cancer in the end.

I wish I knew where it came from so this time around I will know what not to give my new one. I was on the track that it might be the toys made in China, but who knows...

You take care and welcome back, but I wish it was for just a visit and not another fur baby with Cushings.:)

Oh Dottie, I'm so sorry to hear of Tessie's passing. She was such a brave little girl, and I know you loved her dearly. And now to be facing Cushing's again, with your Lindie! It is an awful lot for you to handle right now. I'm so glad you've returned to us. We will do everything we can to help you. We have a special memorial thread where Tessie's name has now been added. And we will be checking back with you to see if there is a special photo of Tess that you would like for us to link with her memorial line.

And regarding Lindie -- just as Marie has asked, it will help us a great deal if you'll tell us some more about Lindie's symptoms, diagnostic tests, and also her starting dose of Vetoryl. I remember all the problems you had with Tessie's high dose, so I'm really hoping that Lindie will have an easier time and will be started off at a lower dose.

I send you my best wishes, Dottie. I am so sorry for the reasons, but it is good to have you back "home" with us once again. :o

Hi Dottie,

I am so sorry you have had it all heaped on you. No doubt Tessie had three more years of happiness and love.

We will be here for you and Lindie. Just post as much info as you can, how much Lindie weighs, her dose of Vetoryl, test results, symptoms, as much as you can.

Many hugs,
addy

Hi guys you are all the best. Tessie was 18 years with us. She was a early Christmas present to my husband. She was 3 to 6 months old when I brought her home. We had a great run Tessie and I. Okay enough of that, need to pull it together for Lindie. So Monday I will have all that info and will post. I am still on this freaking WC injury, so all I have is time. With Lindie Right now we noticed she looked skinner when Lindie is always eating. She lost 3 pounds from I think 75 pounds. She drinks a lot of water and pees a lot. Lindie has always been a hoarder. She hoards food and toys. Lindie will be 8 years this August. She is a black American Labadore. Never been sick tell now. Okay tell tomorrow. Thank you every one thank you. Dottie

Oh Dottie,

I am so very sorry to hear little Tessie. She did have an exceptional mom and dad who love her dearly.
((((hugs))))
