hmm, while I can get a chuckle out of imaging Tipper in head gear, I don't think the reality would work very well. It IS Tipper after all. LOL
Hopefully the thunder won't be too bad this time. I know there is always a next though.

Yes Tipper was afraidmof it before, but with little cortisol levels she goes off the walls and there is not enough to manage her stress. God please no thunder! She is taking turns laying on the bed and on the floor close to the closet. I can tell she is on high alert. This is pitiful to have to keep this up. It is warm in here today and I am worried about her breathing if she goes in the closet as it will be too not for her in there, and she was struggling last nite too. I will turn the air on if I have to, but the temperature will plummet tonite with snow at 4 am, and we don't need air on during that! She can handle the rain so please let it just be rain
Blessings

i hope this will work out just fine for you and tipper. what a stress!
is it over yet? snow at least does not make noise.
Hi Everyone:
Well it was a bad nite here last nite. Tipper was so upset from all the wind and the rain all day. When she finally tried to lay down and sleep when it was quiet, she has the worst tremors yet. Part of me wanted to film, it but the common sense side of me just wanted to stop it. It was rocking her whole body. It seems she is not doing the smaller ones any more, they are bad and really rock her abdomen, it actually rocks he back and forth it is so strong. I always notice a deep different pattern in her breathing before it starts. So it sleeted, hailed, and is snowing now. Both of us were up most of the nite. I did sleep a bit, and woke up to being drenched in sweat, and not feeling well. If I forget any of my meds this happens. I was so stressed for Tipper I forgot one of my pills so I took it, but by that time it was 4am and I could not sleep. Tipper seems to be doing a faster shallow breathing the last 2 days that has me worried. This morning she did not poop. I gave her her Vetoryl and she wanted to go out again. She had a real loose poop, which worried me cause she had her Vetoryl. She never has loose stool. I am wondering if it was all the stress of yesterday and last nite?? I will see how she is today, and if she is OK she willnot get Vetoryl again until she poops because she is pretty low with her numbers right now and as I said before that has me concerned. She is acting good, ate OK and seems alert, so it could be the stress of yesterday. We have laser therapy today, and I am still feeling sick and do not want to go, but I will do it for her. I finished my dining room yesterday so I am moving along with the spring cleaning. Today will be rest day, as I am not feeling like working. I am barely making it walking around, so no work. I will stay with my girl and make sure she is alright. I talked to Delora and she told me hospice has been wanting to see her son. She is just miserable,and really depressed. I think my neighbor wants the cat to go to another home and neither one of us can find anybody willling to take her. Blessings
Hi Patti,
I am so sorry that Tipper is having issues at night, and that you are not feeling well! I hope you get some rest today.
Nadia
It definitely could have been stressed related loose stool. She was upset for a long time yesterday. So, cross fingers that is all it is and that she is normal at end of day or tomorrow morning.
Snow should all melt tomorrow or Thursday. :)

Thank Nadia and Sharlene. I hope it was just stress that caused this in Tipper. She never has loose stool. She is eating well, went to laser therapy with no problem, and is alert and running thru the house. I hope she poops early in the morning tomorrow so I can see if it is ok to know if I will dose her or not. I must get this video up for you all to see. We have blood pressure in the morning so if anything is wrong I will have the vet available to see. It is really cold out and still snowing. It is covering all the trees and bushes and looks pretty, but it is too cold for Tipper to walk. With her stool like this I really just want her to rest. Blessings
Patti
i am sorry that it was such a hard night for both of you.
at least snow falling does not make a lot of noise.
hope you both will be able to rest for the remains of the day.
lots of loose stools here as a result of a doggie virus in this village.
i had to beg for old newspapers because i ran out of them.
they are never sick, but this time it is a very contagious virus.
they want to walk though.
hope it is just stress related with tipper.
Hi Patti, it never seems to end for our pups does it. Thinking about you.
Patti
I hope everything is okay with you and Tipper! Some things I count on and one is that you log in every morning and check how everyone is doing and give us the Tipper update. That didn't happen this morning, so you know me, worry wart.
Whats up?
