My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

Pug hugs from one pug mom to another.

Everyone,
I can't thank you all enough for all you kind, wonderful words.
For remembering my Scoop. It's been tough and knowing there are so many wonderful friends here to talk to is comforting to know.
Thank you for being here.
Hugs

Today I took Raleigh to see the ophthalmologist at the hospital where Scoop passed away. There was this one night nurse that was especially fond of Scoop. She told me she would take Scoop home if she could. She has a Pug. She was the nurse that discovered he wasn't breathing. She also was with my daughter and I when we saw Scoop after getting that phone call. She did the paw prints for us and gave me some of Scoop's fur and talked to us. Well the doctor today needed help to look at Raleigh's eyes and this nurse is now working days. She is the one that came in to help the doctor with Raleigh. My heart skipped a beat at that moment.

Vicki, I have only kept up with a few stories on this forum, and unfortunately have never been able to fully read yours. I come to the site every so often for tips, updates, and any information I can soak up from those with Cushings experience. My vet appears to be clueless and its only hitting me now. Scoop was a small pug just as my girl is. Do you mind if I ask how long he lived after the initial diagnosis? The words of my vet and the words of women on this board are hugely contradictory. If you don't want to talk about it, I understand and apologize profusely. But Scoop seems to have been with you through so much, how long were you together? How quickly did he deteriorate? Was it a slow process? I think my dog is being mistreated and improperly medicated. Desperately looking for an expert vet on Cushings but it is a challenge.

Hi Erin, I am not Vicki, of course :o. But just wanted you to know that I have placed a copy of your reply on your own thread about Toto. I have also shifted over a response from Patti. I think it will be easier for everybody, including Vicki, to continue the discussion of your questions on Toto's thread. That way, they can answer you directly. Here's a link to your thread so that everybody can easily find it:

Scoop was a very brave little boy who faced many challenges in his journey. In addition to Cushing's, he was diabetic. And the pituitary tumor that caused the Cushing's was expanding and required treatment in its own right. Every furbaby's journey is unique, of course. But Scoop was, and remains, truly one of our dear heroes.
