Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Patti,
Glad to read that the Bach remedy did not seem to do any harm at least. Maybe that panting Tipper had was for the approaching weather or wind??
Last night was a stormy one here. We had some strong lightening, such bright flashes and often but funny enough not too much thunder, just some rumbling. Trixie wanted off our bed and went to hide in the bathroom and then later on a 2nd round of storms at 4am she took shelter under the kitchen table. She was stressed...very drippy nose, but no panting and no shaking. Much better than last year when she shook like a leaf in the wind but this thunder was not the big loud boomer type so maybe her reaction was subdued because it wasn't too noisy.
Hoping Tipper is okay tonight. More storms in our forecast for tomorrow, I hope you're not getting them.

Hi Everyone:
Tipper had a pretty good nite as there was no storms or rain. We had that cold front come yesterday and she was enjoying the cooler temperatures. It is starting to heat back up today though. I am going to get busy and brew her some stronger herbs today as Tuesday is to bring some bad weather. I saw tornadoes down south last nite, and hail in Pennsylvania as big as tennis balls that ruined many cars. This weather has gotten so extreme it has to be tied into global warming. Delora is getting weaker by the day, it is wearing on me heavily. I had so much death in my family to deal with, that it really affects me like post traumatic stress. I am going to concentrate on cleaning the cat room today. I made up my mind it has to get done. There is a garage sale in my whole development on Saturday so I will have to keep the dogs in my room with the blinds down as I do not want Toby barking and setting off Tipper. I have some things I could sell, may give them to the neighbors to sell for me as it is impossible with Tipper sick. Have some pool equipment and cleaning tools etc. to get rid of. That is one thing I do not miss when I hear of everyone getting their pools ready. I loved to swim in my pool, but hated the maintenance of it. I think the people that bought my house may have filled it in!! I am going to walk the dogs again while it is still cool. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well there's a big dark area in the west right now. I just brewed some herbs for Tipper and gave her some already. The garage sales started today and I thought it was tomorrow. Toby is all revved up and barking so I had to keep him away from the front of the house. I hope this weather does not bring thunder. I never made it to the cat room yet, got delayed several times as Tipper wanted to play ball, then Toby wanted attention, then Elvis wanted out, and Lucky wanted to eat. He threw up and had real gushy stool this morning, so don't know what that is about, but I am not feeding him for a while. Never a dull moment here with the mini zoo! I found the two sites that talk about the clematis being unsafe for use they are theraputicsearch.com and WebMD.com so if you were thinking of buying this just look it over first. It is also called travelers joy and old mans beard. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
We have not gotten the rain yet. The dogs are tired and Tipper is on her pillow already. I just received an email from the people that have Gracie with such cute pictures of her looking out the window at the birds. She is so beautiful, they just love her. I called the lady that has Deloras cat and she is taking it to the vets for a check up, says it sleeps on her lap at nite just like it did with Delora. I talked to
Delora and she still is jot eating? I am wondering where the hospice people are?
Maybe her son does not want them?? It is so cool here it is only 49 degrees! Tipper loves it. I hope for her sake it is a quiet nite. I have been laughing at some of the auto corrects on here. I have that happen all the time and somehow it always substitutes the funniest words. Hope everyone has a good weekend with their babies. Blessings
Patti

Hope you don't have any storms tonight. I'm sure they are all tired out from the garage sale going on. Some of my friends on our street are putting stuff out for garage sales tomorrow. Hope we have good weather. It looks like it'll be sunny, so that is good.

Yep, those auto corrects can be quite entertaining to go back and read.

I love auto corrects, they are so funny. Sure am glad Tipper had a cooler day.

Enjoy your weekend and I hope no storms are headed your way and thank you Patti for always thinking about me and Zoe.:)

Hi Everyone:
Well no storms last nite and Tipper slept fairly well. It seems she is making a noise when breathing like her epiglottis is blocking her throat and when she inhales and I can hear it like clicking for lack of a better term when she exhales. You know how people use a little Vicks on the end of there nose when they get stuffy. When she makes the nasal noises and struggles to breathe I though if I put some on a Kleenex and held it near her nose if the would help her? I cannot put any on her she is so allergic to stuff so I would never do that . I just wonder if the menthol would open up her nose more? This morning she was suffering form acid reflux. Her food was coming up repeatedly in her mouth. I hate to have to give her an acid reducer as she ahs so much crap to take now, but if it continues I have to I am afraid of her choking one of these times. It is mostly only in the morning when she eats breakfast I have not noticed it at any other time. It is cold with frost on the ground and Tipper loves this weather. I need to keep them both busy today as there are garage sales gong on again. The furnace is coming on and probably making dirty everything I cleaned! I guess everyone ahs a long weekend for Memorial day so enjoy the weekend everyone. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well the garage sales are over for the day so I took Tipper on the front porch. She liked the breeze and stayed out for twenty minutes!! That is a record for her now. Someone started a blower and she did not seem to get rattled. I have a bottle of bubble maker and I made bubbles for her and she was chasing them, and started to jump so we had to stop, but she was enjoying herself. Toby doesn't come out when she is out there, so I put her inside where I could see her and then left him play with them. They both had fun, so now we are resting. Tipper has been doing pretty good with her hunger, we have not had any problems on this dose, so I hope it continues. I am afraid to look and see when she is due for an ACTH as she has had way too many. I hope she continues to do well and we don't have to change doses again. I am going to rest now for the rest of the day. Blessings
Patti

Glad to hear that you all had a good day. Bubbles sound like fun. Maybe I should get some for molly. I bet she'd have a blast with them.

We have had a lovely day here too. Sunshine and perfect temps around 24C. We've done a lot of yard work today, so good to feel like we are making progress.

Always nice to read about doggies playing!
