Patti,
before Cushings, the only meds that Daisy ever needed she received after luxatng patella surgery and as a pup when she came home with us and had kennel cough. This one is not familiar to me at all. Sorry.
I'm curious to see what the vet says about the B12 and tremors.
Hi Everyone:
Well I gave Tipper her antibiotic dose today so we will see what happens. She has already walked because we are to have a hot day today. With her supplements and pills I have to set a timer on the IPhone to remind me when she gets what, and as I said before it is so cute how she runs to tell me when it goes off and waits for her pill. I have talks about her obsession of wanting to kill anything with a motor. Yesterday I had to use the food processor. She was jumping as high as the counter to get at it and bite it. I had to grab her and put her in another room. She must be felling ok if she is willing to jump, or else the obsession overrides any pain she has. She stayed out on the porch for about a half an hour and that is a good improvement over last year form her being afraid of noises. Yesterday I was so busy it was almost 2 hours past her feeding time and she never made a fuss. I realized I had forgotten and fed them. I know her cortisol must be pretty low not to be hounding me for her food, so I better be extra vigilant as she does not get her ACTH until July. I am hoping no problems come up. I just have a feeling she will be off the Vetoryl for a weeks and restarted at a different dose again, because that has been the pattern to date. I really pray we do not have to as that means another ACTH 2 weeks after the one scheduled for July. It is just too hard on her and it stresses the &%$ out of me. Hoping everyone has a good weekend with their babies, Well no reaction so far from the antibiotic, so I am grateful for that. Blessings

let's hope the ab will do the trick with tipper's breathing issues.
seems like tipper is doing ok on this vetoryl dosage.
as long as she is jumping and playing and walking.
no more thunderstorms i hope?
Hi Patti & Tipper
Just checking in on you and was happy to read your baby is trying to eat the food processor. You are so lucky she likes to take meds. Maya will not. Doesn't matter what I hid it in she will find it and spit it out. I have to put it down her throat and usually get a few teeth marks in the process. Griffin on the other hand will gobble down anything. I hope the antibiotics help Tipper to breathe easier. You are both in my thoughts. ~Angelique & Maya
Hi Patti! I'm glad you got some antibiotics for Tippers and at least she feels like playing. Eli won't even play anymore. My Vet sometimes gives Eli something for his stomach as well. I have to look at my thread to see what it is though.
Eli tremors as well. Iris said her Flynn had tremors also, but the Vetoryl stopped that. I know when Eli had the few days on Vetoryl, he had stopped all the trembling too. Or, maybe he got Essential Tremors from me!! :eek::eek::p:D:rolleyes:
I wish Eli played more, he worries me. Poor little guy seems he got so old over night. :( I hope you both have a happy weekend though. Did you ever hear from that pain clinic?? I go on Tuesday myself. <sigh>
Hi Everyone:
Well day two of the antibiotic so we will see what goes on here in about a week, The IMS emailed me back and basically said this much: I thoroughly examined Tipper inside and out when she has that scope done, there was nothing seen that could cause her problems, or put her in danger, so be glad of that! Well I never said I was ungrateful number one, and secondly that does not help the mystery of this congestion she is having right now??? She said it would not be the Vetoryl, so like I said these Dr.s always think they know everything, when in fact it is clearly stated that it can be a side effect of it. So I guess I am on my own as usual, and will need to crack this case without her help! I have not heard back from the Cardiologist on the question I asked about what happened to Beckys dogs heart. I am still waiting! Tipper slept ok, but was up and moving around the room a lot. I am worrying about these storms from Monday to Thursday that are to be coming. I will have to leave town! Tipper will not be able to handle four days of thunder. I need to think of something to do for her. I am going to give the dogs a bath if it gets real warm outside to day. Tipper has a grey look to her hair since being sick. She has always been snow white, I think it is the Vetoryl as like with people taking drugs and it leaves a marker in your hair. Blessings
Patti
Patti,
Just wanted to say you and Tipper are in my prayers.

Hi Patti,
I am so sorry you are having all these problems with Tipper. I know I have been away for a long time, not always a good thing.
Lola used to do that swallowing A LOT especially at night, actually now that I think about it, it was worse before she was diagnosed. She still does it, I researched it and found so many different things, some of which made sense and some didn't. What I thought made perfect sense is that dogs usually do that when they have acid reflux of upset stomach, so it could be caused indirectly by Vetoryl. did you try giving Tipper some Pepcid AC? it may help.
Lola is doing better overall Cushing's-wise, but the knee injury is not giving up, she is limping again and seems to be in pain. I gave her half a tablet of Tramadol this morning.
Her tests are due in two weeks, so I will wait until then to have her seen by an Orthopedic surgeon for another evaluation.

Nadia:
Glad to hear from you. Thank you for thinking of us. Yes Tipper is having quite a time. She does get acid reflux, I do treat it off and on as she does not have it all the time. I think this is connected somehow to her sinuses or trachea maybe a sore throat from post nasal drip? I am sorry to hear Lola is having leg troubles. Tipper does off and on too, but I think hers is because I have never been able to completely stop her from jumping on things, and from doing the Jack Russell pogo jump. I think sometimes she re-injures it so that may be what Lola is doing. I take Tipper for Laser therapy still every three weeks. I am being bled dry by all of this, but I continue on for her sake. I hope Lola gets better. I think Tipper may have a low pre number again from how she is acting so I am watching her closely. I really don't want her to have to had another ACTH until July as she has had way too many, then if the dosage changes another one already! Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper had fun chasing bubbles on the porch. It got too hot and humid so we had to come in. She does love her bubbles! She had a good day and played with her ball and her toys. She seemed a bit better today. She is still doing good with the food, no begging!! Both dogs had a bath, and are smelling and looking good. Elvis had his shower, and the cats well ,they are the cats! So all in all a good day for Tipper. Hoping for another one tomorrow! Blessings
Patti
