Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Awww Patti, I hope that you and Tipper both get to feeling better soon. It's just so hard dealing with everything you and Tipper have going on at the same time.

I'm no help on the mucus breathing situation obviously, but it makes sense to have her sinsus checked out.

Had a down pour here, lasted 5 minutes, all gone now. :) Suppose to be clear tonight, which is good. I hate night thunderstorms with molly and if hubs is gone, then it's double hard to deal with. Sorta like you do all the time. :)

Hang in there!

Hey Patti, Lori just posted to someone today about Dechra's literature stating that congestion is a side affect of Vetoryl.

i am sorry that you are in so much pain and that the pain dr does not co-operate well. all because of the paperwork?
it is hot and humid overhere too.
that does not help with my sinus problems too.
hope you both will feel so much better tomorrow!

Addy:
I saw that but I am wondering if it is that or the sinuses? I will have to get her checked out next week to make sure she has no sinus infection, if she does not it may be the Vetoryl. Tipper is experiencing a lot of side effects from the Vetoryl if it is in fact the cause. Thank you
Patti

Morning Patti! I hate hearing you and Tipper aren't doing doing so well. :( It was the same thing here in KY trying to get some relief when I broke a rib coughing. I couldn't believe a real GP doctor in this little creepy town couldn't write a RX for a lousy pain pill! :mad: It drove me nuts! That's when I had to drive the 40 miles to a specialist to get anything....and then he referred me to the pain clinic in the same building. No paper work there. :D I lucked out..but boy I was doubled over like for awhile until I got that far. They sure can make a person mad....and drive you nuts!! :eek:

I'm sorry Tipper is not feeling well either..I hope today is a better day. They did call for storms in the "viewing" area....they just happened to be above us! :rolleyes: So, we didn't get any rain at all! Just partly cloudy!

Praying for a better day for you and Tipper!

Hugs, Jo Ann and Eli

Hi Everyone:
Well the vet was not in so I could not ask anything about the Chinese herbs, or the sinuses. I will have to do it on her appointment next week. Tipper had her blood pressure which was a waste because she was already worked up knowing a storm is on the way. I wish I could just calm her somehow. She was up and down last nite too as you could feel rain in the air, making her nervous. We have no more appointments until next week so I can catch a break here. I am not feeling it today! I am making beef stew so I can lay off the cooking a few days. I need to get Tipper's next Ultra Sound scheduled today. Her next ACTH is July 9th so that still gives her a break from it. I really don't want to do it then either, but her pre is probably going to be low so I have to. She had her anal glands cleaned today too as they were getting full and bothering her. I hope if this storm comes there is no thunder. Last nite as I watched the weather channel it said storms tomorrow nite with thunder, she knows what storm means and she got up and ran in the closet. I never say that word around her an d always had to stop Delora from saying it around Tipper. Blessings

Hi Patti,
I was thinking about your today because my friend from Pittsburgh called me and said they had huge storms there last night. Her husband was flying out from there but all flights were halted due to the severity of the lightning in the area.
Since you didn't mention it in your post I'm thinking this storm bypassed your area...I hope so!!
We are having a cool and cloudy day and it is my preference as Trixie really cannot take too much heat anymore. Yesterday was so hot...we were out for a walk early. She was not in any distress but I can see the heat gets to her much more quickly than it used to. Once we got inside I blasted the a/c for her and she cooled right down. I can't take the heat anymore either!
I hope you can figure out something with Tipper's swallowing issue. Is she licking her paws a lot? Just wondering if she licking a lot of pollen off her paws from the outside. I hear it's especially bad this year. Was she bothered by this same thing in the winter? Wish I knew a solution...I know you do too. I hope the vet can come up with a reason for this or that whatever herbs you try will help out.

Hi Everyone:
No storm so far. Tipper is easing up with the nervousness. It is sure hot for only being the end of May! I guess that indicates what we have coming. Tipper stayed on the porch for about 20 minutes as I made bubbles for her. All of this is so worth while just to see her mind at ease, and having a fun time. We used to do
things outside all day long. I love to see her happy and care free. She had a bad honking episode this afternoon, but she did not panic this time. I took her in the shade in the yard, while I planted all my window box plants. I had to hurry as she just can't take the heat, even in the shade. Toby does not like the heat either so he was panting up a storm. Well I finished that job, so now the frost will probably come and I have to cover all of them!! Blessings
Patti

no storm so far, that sounds good!
my dogs and i don't like the heat too.
hope you were able to walk the dogs today.
and have a thunder free night.

Now that I think of it, Daisy has been off Triostane for a week and she doesn't sound congested anymore! I didn't relate the 2 things but now I sure do!
