Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

i hope you and tipper had a nice nap and are feeling a bit better now.
hope her leg will be fine tomorrow.
hope there is no flu wandering in your area.
sleep well tonight.

Hi Everyone:
I am feeling a bit better today. Tipper is still limping on that leg, but not as much.I wish I would have been quicker yesterday, but he already had the needle in before I could stop him. It is very cold here, and going to be worse tomorrow. We are expecting a big storm on the weekend. In have to take Elvis out tonite for his trim. I am going to have to make sure the car is warm, and he is covered very, well as the Dr.does wet them a bit. In the course of cleaning the room where Grace was I researched and found a wonderful cleaner from England. It is called Milton. You do not even have to rinse it off of things. It sterilizes things! You can get it on Amazon. They use it to sterilize baby things. It works on most surfaces also. In the mean time I am using diluted clorox. I will go over everything again once it comes to ensure everything is germ free. I will then wait 2 months before allowing any animals in there. They should all be safe then. Tipper is beyond stir crazy from this weather. I am going to have to research something holistic to use for spring when the storms start. She will never make it thru another season of thunder etc.The vet told me yesterday no tranquil!izers for Tipper, especially with her breathing problems, as I have known it is a bad solution, but really need something to get her thru this. I need to find something that absolutely works. I am afraid of her blood pressure making bleeders in her eyes again. We have enough issues to deal with already. I am really missing sweet Grace today. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
About an hour ago I looked outside and it was a complete white out. It has been coming down like crazy since then. I bet we have 5 inches of new snow. This was not even mentioned in the forecast! Then we have a storm coming this weekend. I hope the roads are clear when I have to take Elvis at 4:30. I do not need any problems with him in the car. I am going to watch the weather at noon.The wind has really started to blow really bad too. Oh well another nice day here! I really need to clean this house and for once do not have the energy.I found some calming collars online does anyone have any experience with them?l also saw some made with herbs in. If you have used either please let me know if they work or not, as I am tired of wasting money. Toby stuck his head down in a pile of snow before I could stop him, I hope he does not start with ear problems like Tipper does when she does that. Blessings

Patti--I just hung up the phone with my friend from Pittsburgh and while we were talking she said it was snowing like crazy..a white out! Then I just logged on and read the same exact thing from you. Small world!!
It's cold here today but not terrible yet..the crazy cold like you have is coming this way tonight and for the weekend, and another storm due here Sunday night into Monday.
Trixie was demanding this morning and pulled me all the way to the park. I had the foresight to make her wear a fleece, good thing we were out for over an hour. Glad we got in a good walk because with the forecast temps in the single digits starting tomorrow we will not be on any long walks...probably for a few days now.
Hope Tipper's leg is doing okay and be safe out in that snow when you take Elvis, that is if you end up going!

Patti I have used the DAP calming collars on Woody, the rescue recommend them to help settle them into new home, it worked for Woody he wore them on and off for years I also used the DAP room spray, it worked well for car journeys just spray in room and on dogs bed and it worked as well. Maybe something you could look into

Oh no Patti!
Be safe today and if you have to reschedule Elvis' nail trim, please do so.
I hope that we don't get this storm. Some snow has melted, but most of it is still around. They said that we've had seven feet so far. Crazy!

Glad Tipper's leg is better. Maybe Toby won't have an ear problem. I imagined him sticking his head in the snow. We had a solid black miniature poodle when I was younger. Somewhere there is a picture taken after she stuck her head in the snow. So much stuck to her fur that she looked headless :-)

Hi Everyone:
I have the car in the garage as we are having 50 mph winds. I got out a big garbage bag to put over top of Elvis's carrier, then a heavy towel. I will take it off. In the car and house when I get there. I just don't want the wind blowing that cold air on him, and plastic will stop it. It snowed quite a bit, I have no idea what the roads are like. I have a sitter for Tipper, and I am ready to go.I am reading a very interesting book by Martin Goldstein on healing your pet holistically. I found some interesting information I will post when not on this tablet that may be helpful to some of us. Elvis is tearing through his cage like he is mad, he cannot have any food 4 hours before he gets put out, and he wants food right now and he is not happy. He is yelling come on, come on, it is to funny. Whenever I want him to do something, I always say come on Elvis so he is copying me. The dogs do not even want outside today it is so nasty. With luck the traveling Dr. will be on time and we can get home quickly. Blessings

Patti,
I can just imagine Elvis freaking out.
Be safe! Let us know when you come back home please.

geez...please be careful out there! Judi posted a pic on FB of a 96 car pileup on I-400 from this storm. Let us hear from you the second you are back home, 'k?

Ick, horrid weather out there from the sounds of it. Be careful in those white outs, pull over if needed. We haven't had any here today, but in the snow belt area the highway is now closed in both directions due to a 96 car pile up during a sudden white out this morning. Yikes! So stay safe!

Wind is blowing fierce here too and bloody cold. I don't think we're suppose to get snow here, but you never know sometimes.

I haven't used any of those things with molly and I told you about the one I read at the vets office. I guess it's not working though? The pheromone spray.

Got to run, I'm sleepy, as just took some cold sinus for my ear to see if it will help but that stuff just makes me sleepy. Trying to get through post before I go crash for a bit.

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
