Oh I forgot to say that her ionized calicum level is back in the normal range. The IMS doesn't think molly has a malignant cancer as she said we would be seeing some weight loss and her not feeling well by this time.
Molly is currently having the ACTH bounce and I do mean bounce! she is bouncing all over the house, eating anything in her bowl and begging for treats. I know i've said it before, but boy am I glad she never displayed these symptoms normally, only for 48 hours after an ACTH test.
For those who have followed my BIL's journey. He is currently able to sit in a wheel chair, which is progress. He can't stand or get into it on his own, but he can sit and have lunch and wheel himself out to the patio, etc. It's going to be a long recovery, but at least we are hopefully looking at recovery now.
hugs all

Progress is progress and we'll take it!!! It looks like your BIL is finally heading in a more positive direction. Yay!:)

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say I'll see everyone in a couple weeks (Feb) as this is crazy week at work and then off to sunshine and warmth.
No worries all and everyone stay healthy and safe!
Big hugs!

Have a wonderful, well deserved vacation Sharlene.:p You will be greatly missed. xxxxoooo
Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Sharlene!!! Are you coming to visit me?? It's nicely warm here. :D
I've just caught up on Miss Molly and am very glad to hear things have settled down some. Bailey has that snap trick in her repertoire also, although it's usually being protective of me.
We went to an art show over the weekend. Here in FL everyone seems to take their doggies EVERYwhere. Even to grocery stores. At the art show, folks had all their little doggies (and some big ones!) on leashes strolling with them. Bob commented on how everyone's dog was walking along so calmly...not even bothered by other dogs. I think I only heard a growl once. Had we taken Bailey it would have been a totally different story!! Although she is usually intimated with other dogs, at first.
Wherever you are going, I hope the weather cooperates for you. I hope you have a wonderful time and I look forward to your return. :)
Hugs,
Susan

Have fun, Sharlene! I am so happy to read about BIL! He must feel as if he has the world by the tail being able to sit up some now. Good for him! Ya'll be careful, forget all that has been going on lately, and just enjoy!

Relaxation is what we are looking for. And warmth. Lol. Barbados Susan. Everyone says it is lovely. I've never been but looking forward to it. And we are going with friends who have been and loved it so that is a plus.
Yes BIL is happy to have a bit more movement. Loving to get out and about in the wheelchair. Today is his birthday. He's come a long ways from where he was. Very happy about that.
Hugs

Sharlene--have a wonderful, relaxing vacation! Just close your eyes, wiggle your toes in the soft sand and soak up the Caribbean sun. :D
