Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
So chuffed to read everything looks good and no movement in the wrong direction as I know you were so worried as we all were for you
I sure hope that medicine does the trick for you both and that you can get some rest and peace of mind now.
Look forward to seeing the pictures of Grace, welcome home little one.

Great news to see that Tipper is in such good condition, hopefully the meds work and you can now relax and enjoy each other :)
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper is still having the seizures so we will see in the next two weeks what happens. Bad news on Grace though. Her eye, well both actually may have some virus she is shedding that could be contagious to my cats. I have to keep her by herself with no contact. I am not sure what I can do now. She either had to be treated and go to a home with no other cats if she has a virus, as she will carry it her whole life and my cats can get it, or I have to find a home where she is the only cat and have her treated or she will go blind. I am already into 150.00 and Tipper and Toby need teeth cleanings etc. I cannot go another high bill. I have to think this one over. Just do not know what to do. She is sleeping on her back purring while I type, she was wonderful at the vets and everyone said she is the most beautiful cat they have ever seen. Some more decisions to make!!!. Tipper's laser therapist was really upset that they messed her leg up at the hospital, said we now have to start all over again. Oh well what else is new? I am dead tired and if I have to find Grace a new home I am going to be really bummed. She must have her teeth cleaned and maybe one pulled, then while under anesthesia they swab her throat and eyes and send it away to identify what is inflaming her eyes. My neighbor old man would have to keep her while I had all this done so she is not near my cats as she cannot stay locked up in a room alone for 2 more weeks and that will be about how long all this takes. God is anything simple anymore??? Have some catching up to do in the house still. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Another thing I forgot to say on my last post was that when waiting for Grace at the vets today, a Yorkie came in for an ACTH test- yet another dog with Cushings!!. I also wanted to say I am concerned about the statement from Tipper's IMS re- kidneys saying decrease in corticomedullary definition. Can someone tell me if this is the beginnings of renal disease?? Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Patti
You have been through so much and I am so pleased Tipper is better than you thought she may be, she is better than Teddy is to be honest, he has the start of kidney problems, and has cretinin in his urine and urea in his blood, he has permanent heart arrhythmia's as well as the mitral valve issues, plus he has his spleen nodule, he is getting more and more tired looking we are scared we will loose him soon, so I am genuinely happy for you, as I know the fears of our dear ones being sick, Poor Grace, and what a dilemma for you too, I hope it works out.

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
How sad about Grace, will your elderly neighborhood be willing to keep her?
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Valerie:
I haven't been able to talk to my neighbor to see if he can take Grace for 2 weeks as he is not home. I will keep checking.
Diana:
I am so sorry Teddy is not doing well. I really thought he was going to defy the odds being at home with you and getting love. I pray he improves. You should be getting ready for your Dr. visit soon??
I am thinking Grace may have a herpes infection in her eye, which will be for life, and she can shed it any time she gets nervous so that would eliminate her staying here and I would have to find her a home. It would make sense as when they get nervous it acts up and she has obviously been abused and nervous about a dog beating the crap out of her. I pray that it is not so she can stay here. At the vets she laid on the exam table wagged her tail and purred and never any panic at all. She was great in the car again. When home she laid on her back, spread her legs out and purred at me. She is truly amazing. Please pray she does not have anything contagious. I need her to live a good life. Blessings
Patti
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
I really hope that she doesn't have a contagious virus and that she'll be able to stay with you. Poor thing, she deserves a good life after all she's been through.
I wonder though, wasn't your neighbor going to take your other neighbors car though? They wouldn't be able to be together if Grace has a virus right?
Crud about Tippers leg having to start all over. :(
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Sharlene: Glad hubs pneumonia was caught in time. I am sad though at the party cancellation as we won't get pics. I am going to try and take pics of Grace tomorrow as I am still tired out today after taking her to the vet, an d Tipper to therapy yesterday. The man that will be watching her is the one I wanted to watch the other cat, but I just found out Delora's situation is not operable so they will be doing chemo and the cat will be home with her. I will need to be looking for a permanent home for her cat though as you never know what might happen. Her son told her it was a different type of cancer that she has now, as he does not want blamed for not getting her the chemo. Well the Dr. blew the lid off that today as he told her it was a re development from the old cancer because she failed to get chemo. So now she knows how her pastor son lies. It is stage 4 so I don't know what will happen and it is in her lungs now too, but the nodules were too small to biopsy. God bless her I hope she beats this the poor thing. I will be really glad for a quiet restful weekend coming up- if I get one??? Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
i also wish you a quiet and restful weekend. hopefully you do find the cat a good home where she can be the only cat in the house. keeping her seperated in your house in your office is not a good solution as you mentioned. and the money issue as well. you can not save the whole world. tipper and you and your other animals come first.
during my work i see a lot of pets who would be better off somewhere else, but i can not help them unfortunately.
hope tippers leg will heal soon and that the new medicin will do it's work.
is the weather still ok, or is it freezing again?
