new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Maybe the cream cheese will at least full Ian for a while. I saw on tv a crime lab in the Netherlands that is so sophisticated that a sheriff here sent things over there to be analyzed for a murder case. Are you anywhere near it? We are waiting on more snow this morning then it warms up in the 40-50 degree range next week. Tipper was happy as she walked some yesterday. The thyroid meds are definitely making a difference in her. Blessings

do you know what place the crime lab was in? ok i found it ;in den haag is the biggest one. pretty famous indeed. it is an hour drive from here.
glad that tipper is feeling better and that the weather is improving next week! finally!
it is still stormy weather out here. and about 7 degrees celcius.
ian's pills went down really easy today, so that was a relief.
it is 4. 22 am now, but i only have to work monday afternoon, so i can try to sleep in.
hope you and tipper will have a quiet night.

Was it the cream cheese you gave him the pills with? Hope it works for at least a while. Yes I saw the crime lab on tv, it was very interesting. Hope you get some rest, I am glad you are finally feeling better. Is Ian's hair all grown in on the spot? Blessings
Patti

i forgot to buy the cream cheese today...gggrrr!!! i hid it [veroryl] in a spoonful of tripe and he ate it. not the fish oil pill. i will try that tomorrow again.
you can hardly see the hot spot anymore, but his whole coat structure has changed overall after the shedding. it is not as thick and soft anymore. but that is due to the cushing i quess. his cushing belly is almost gone. so not to bad for this old guy! we walked for about an hour in the forest today and he was doing fine! march 4 he will be 13.
maybe tipper can come over for his birthday-party? ha, ha!

Yes Tipper likes parties especially where there are balloons to break. She said if she can't make it to send her a piece of cake her favorite is yellow. She did ok last nite. Her leg has improved so much, I hope she does not reinjure it as she plays like a Mack Truck. I think this Cushings does do something to their coats. Tipper's is real sparse and brittle, but it could be the thyroid too. We had a snow storm last nite and it is still going on and the wind is unbelievable. Blessings
Patti

ok, so tippers coat did change too after the cushing diagnosis. i hope his mane around his neck will grow back. and his tail is not as bushy anymore.
yeh balloons are favorite too overhere. o and sorry tipper i am a lazy doggy-mom; i do not bake a cake for ian. he is a picky eater and i think he would not eat it. his sister would, but she is already a bit overweight.
i hope the weather will finally improve after this blizzard. we still have the plus temp., some rain and wind.
hope you 2 will have another quiet night. and catch up with some sleep.

Tipper said oh come on now just bake a cake!!! We are now in for storms tomorrow so I am already worried about Tipper's reaction as she gets crazy. Herblood pressure was high tO'Day so she does not need this. Ian's fur may get better. I think Tipper's is part Cushings and part thyroid so maybe that's why hers is still not like it was. I hope you celebrate many more birthdays with In. Blessings

hi patti, is tipper afraid of thunderstorms or does she get excited from it? [as in wanting to hunt/chase the wind]
high blood pressure and a storm is not a good match for tipper i quess?
so the weather is not improving after all in your area?
today we had a sunny afternoon, the rest of the week they forecast rain and wind again.
i ordered some natural treats for the birthday boy and his sister.
so tipper, no cake but i can send you some treats as well........

Tipper is scared to death of thunder and heavy rain. Last summer in August we had the worst storm and it actually ruptured the blood vessels in her eyes from her pressure being so high. I do not want any problems like that again. My vet never even called me still and I was going to ask for a mild tranquilizer for her as the melatonin may not be enough and it is to be real bad to day with high wind and pounding rain and thunder. Every day it is something else to battle! Since her pressure was up Wednesday I do not want her getting it up any higher. I am hoping you are not having rain and wind today so you and Ian can walk by the river, it sounds so beautiful there. Are you feeling up to par yet? A friend of mine had the flu for 3 weeks so it must be a bad bug this time around. Blessings
patti

how is tipper doing with the thunderstorm coming in? a mild tranquilizer sounds good. your vet should understand tipper needs it.
it is awful to see your pet panicking.
we had a cold drizzle today and [some] rain the rest of the week. about sunday the weather forecast says; dry and some sun.
the flu is not over yet, but i am very tired also. too much to worry.
have not paid for all the vet bills yet.
look what i found....they really do exist; http://homeguides.sfgate.com/care-in...ant-50174.html
we could give it a try.........................
hope you and tipper will get some sleep despite of the thunderstorm.
