Vicki:
Sorry you are so sad about your baby having all these troubles. I know how you feel, as I have had Tipper the whole time I have been sick with Lupus, and cannot think of living without her beside me. I sometimes succomb to desperate measures to keep her on track.I never spend any money on myself, as I know she could have an emergency and I may need it.Any spare money goes towards her supplements or health care. I have ignored my own health to look after hers. It requires a lot of my time, as this is a full time job being vigilant with a Cushings dog. I am not complaining though, as I will do anything to keep her with me. She has been so loyal to me when I am sick, and she really needs me now. We all live with this Macro tumor scare in the depths of our minds. Tipper has exhibited symptoms in the past that have scared me to death, and I just try to keep it out of my mind. You never really know what tomorrow will bring with this disease so I spend my day enjoying my Tipper to the fullest. I have never had a dog I was so attached to, and I pray to God many times a day to give her a long life, as I cannot do without her. I hope your baby gets past these problems soon, as I know the despair you are feeling. God bless you both.

Hi Vicki

Gosh, it seems one thing after another for Scoop. So hard to process sometimes - keep an eye on Tina's thread about Jasper, they are sorting out his kidney problems at the moment and their are links there re dietary advice, it might help you and Scoop. Although you do have another couple of tests to go first, so maybe it is not too bad like my boy Flynn who has protein too. He is having more tests this week too.

Hugs for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tipper's mom-Thanks for all your kind words. You have been doing a fantastic job with Tipper. She is so lucky to have you to take care of her. It is so hard to not think about all their problems constantly because we love them so much and want to help them all we can. Big hugs to you and Tipper.

Trish-Thanks for the heads up. It's hard to keep up with everyone on here. I will check out Jasper's thread.
Big hugs right back to you and Flynn.

Hey Vicki, just checking in on you and Scoop. How's he doing over all? Trish is right, keep an eye on Jasper and Tina's thread as they sort out the dietary and maybe some of that will give you some ideas for Scoop too.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Sharlene-Thanks for asking about Scoop. He's about the same. Right now he is trembling so much and drooling. Last night he had one of his "horny" episodes again. For now he is eating his new food. We'll see how long that lasts.

About 15-20 minutes ago I said to Scoop it was lunch time, no reaction, said it louder a couple of times. No reaction. Asked him if he wanted to go eat his chicken. He just looked at me. Helped him into the kitchen. He ate but with not much enthusium. He usually gets excited about chicken. After he was done he went looking for his water. He had a hard time keeping his balance. Now he's laying here next to me again, getting an ear and belly rub and he is trembling again. Don't like what I see.

Hi Vickie,

I'm so sorry Bug is struggling so. I can only imagine how difficult that is to watch. We are all with you, honey, sending prayers and healing white light.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

Oh fudge Vicki. :( Has Scoop not been interested in food before. Did you check his BG? Maybe it is off.
What about vomiting? How is his poops yesterday and today?
