Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
We got back form getting bp and weight. Well the bp was excellent, and the weight was up a tad, bit she drank a lot of water yesterday for some reason. Tipper was all about the room last nite so I was not able to see any tremors. It is raining here some will try to walk if it let's up. I am slowing down today, may clean the cat room later on, but not feeling it right now. I am going to post later as I want to get my Elvis put for a while and give Tipper some supplements. Blessings

Hi Patti..well great news on the blood pressure!! yay for Tipper. I know the BP is always a bit of a worry so I'm glad you know she's doing great with that.
Was a beautiful cool morning here but we only walked a little bit..even though there was NO limp. I wrote about it on my thread. It's cloudy now and supposed to get really windy. Trixe is marching around with a toy in her mouth trying very hard to get me to chase her. :)
Hope you have a good day.

wonderful news! Patti so glad her bp was good :)

Hi Everyone:
Well the rain stopped so the doggies were able to get two walks in. Tipper drank more water than usual yesterday, and I am wondering if she retained some as she had a few extra ounces on the scale today. I need to talk to the vet Tuesday when Tipper gets Adequan, and tell him she needs it more often and that she is having lots of tracheal issues lately. I wish our hospital appointment was behind
us but uunfortunately it is not. I cannot help but worry. I didn't do a lot today, I am not feeling well and have little energy. Toby really misses playing with Tipper since they have been separated, so today he was sticking his paw thru the gate
and trying to kiss her. Tipper wasn't having it, so Toby kept looking at me like make her make up with me. He is very sweet and kisses everyone, but is Leary of strangers. My elderly neighbor brought me some throw away plates and some foil. I said thanks, but what's this for. He said in case you make me any more dinners, you won't have to use your plates!! I think he must of liked that roast beef dinner! I was so tired last nite I almost fell asleep without giving Tipper her Soloxine. Blessings

I'm happy to hear that Tippers BP was good as I know that is a worry.

Nice they were able to get a couple walks in today too.

Awww, poor Toby, he just wants to be friends and there is this dog in the very same house and no play time. Poor guy. He must wonder why she doesn't like him.

Hope you get to feeling better.

smart neighbor, hint; he wants more dinners made by you....
i hope you will be feeling better tomorrow.
it is 22C and humid and sticky nights. not good for cush doggies.
glad that tippers bp was ok.

Patti, you do so much for your neighbors, I think that it's about time that they give back to you :)

Great news on Tipper's BP! Poor Toby just doesn't understand why there's no play time with Tipper. Why do you think her attitude has changed toward him?

Hi Everyone:
Valerie Tipper never really liked him, but tolerated him. Jack Russell's only care about themselves, they are very selfish. Since she has gotten further into this disease, she has little patience, even with me. Everything must be in a hurry according to what Tipper wants. She gets angry when I take too long putting her harness or coat on. So she just has little tolerance for Toby's little antics and barking at her which really sets her off. Bad combo as Yorkies keep yapping and will not stop, then Tipper snaps.
Tipper had some tremors last nite, but the main worry was the trachea. For the first time ever she hacked twice and I heard her like trying to clear mucous from her throat. Tipper never hacks or coughs and this was odd. Then this morning she had a big blob of mucous in her one eye. They are all connected so what is the source of this mucous is what I cannot figure out. I guess the stickiness of the mucous could add to the collapse problems of the trachea by blocking her airway. She kept swallowing all nite long I could hear her make hard swallows. The antihistimine the IMS recommended I stopped using as it said do not use if you have seizures and the neurologist could not give me a definite answer. On Wednesapday I will ask if it is safe to use for her, also she is on a new medication so I need to know it mis OK with that too. She was very restless last nite and up at 5 am again. I am very tired as I had to wrestle with that stupid ice maker at 2 am. It started all kind of racket. From now on of I remember I will check it out before retiring for the nite. Delora is sick because the room they put her in is freezing cold and her blood is thin, and they come to give her a shower at 2 am and think nothing of letting her sit in there with a wet head. Needless to sy her immune system is compromised and she got sick and had to go on antibiotics. Her brother will be here Friday from North Carolina to see her, and she is happy for that. Blessings
Patti

Sorry to hear that Delora is sick on top of everything else. It will be good for her to see her brother.

You have a lot of items to cover off with the specialists next week. Hopefully you'll have some more answers.

Hi Everyone:
Sorry I am just not up to it today. I called the vet this morning and asked if Tipper could have the antihistamine the IMS said to give Tipper for mucous would be OK with the Soloxine. They said yes so I gave her a half of one. She walked three times today so she did lay down and rest. She did not seem to be making all the breathing noise of last nite. I will give her another before bed time and see if it helps her tonite. The IMS said it would dry up mucous so we will see. Blessings
