Hi Everyone:
Well we are going no where. It is still only 16 and Tipper is so any to go. She is continuing to drink a lot of water. This is bugging me, as she has been on the Soloxine for a month now, so if that is the cause why did the water drinking excess become noticeable?? Today is watch a movie day and rest. I am moving slowly today. Blessings

Cold here today too. We won't be getting out much, just short potty walks.
That is fine, we have things that need to be done around here today, so that works out okay for me.
Either Tippers dosage upped or more frequent shots, not sure which would last the best.
Sorry you both had such a bad night. :(
hugs

Has it been since her stim test? As I always found Tia would drink more for a few days after her testing.
Hope it settles down soon xxx
Hi Everyone:
I took Tipper out for a very short walk one street over as she is very bored. She is drinking a lot today. I don't think it's the ACTH test Mel as that was last Wednesday. This is just not normal for her to be drinking this much? I hope it is the Soloxine and not something else. She was at least happy to be outside for a short period of time. Looking at her today she looks kind of bloated from all the water. I am hoping she has a better sleep tonite with no breathing issues. It was snowing here earlier, just big flurries no accumulation. I think I will ask the vet to raise the Adequan dosage instead of more shots Sharlene as the shots are painful since she does not have a lot of muscle there and I am trying to limit these vet visits for both our sanities. I am looking at Tipper as I type and she looks huge right now,I bet she is up in weight again from this water. It would seem there is always a fire to put out. Blessings

Patti, how much more is she drinking in a 24 hour period? You are measuring her water every day, right? And were the results of her last stim test ok? I scanned your thread real quick, but didn't find it right off.
Tina:
Tipper's stim test showed higher than normal cortisol on her post was a 9. She is on a different dose now due to that. I had to let her cortisol come up higher as her pre number was too low last time. It's a balancing act with her all the time. Her post should be going down now, and hopefully not the pre. She is consuming maybe a cup more of water. It is hard to measure with her as Toby drinks out of her bowl too. Her urine is not dilute yet though. She is not drinking bowl fulls just more than usual. Blessings

i hope this increase in drinking is just boredom and stress from being stuck inside so much because of this bad weather. especially for a dog who loves to walk. maybe you can lower de temperature inside your house a bit.
do you own a hygrometer? maybe the air is too dry in your house?
is tipper's leg ok? i hope the both of you will have a good night sleep!
Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper had a better nite. She did not wheeze as much, and slept ok. She was a little hungry last nite and continued to drink more water. This is now going to be harder to discern what the culprit is here. I domuse a vaporizer every nite so she has enough moisture. I am thinking the Soloxine. I will talk it over with the vet on Wednesday, and see if he is worried about her glucose level rising. Today is only 11 degrees so she can only have a short walk. Where are the 50's we were promised this week?? I have some beautiful pictures of Grace on my camera, I am going to try and put them in her album this week. Blessings
