Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Yes, I did think of Sonja. I do have her email address and phone number. She contacted me before to offer assistance. I'll see what happens tomorrow first, then maybe contact her this weekend.

Hugs,

Glynda lives in Ontario, CA. Here is a post from her to another member regarding the IMS she sees:

I adore Dr. Moore and think he's one of the best specialists in So Cal so I'm really happy that Bondo was seen by him. He knows about us because I told him we are an experienced support group and I believe I even asked him to send pet owners our way if he thought we might be able to help. Apparently he's taken a look around and discovered I wasn't fibbing. :D Dr. Moore has seen more than a few of our k9c dogs over the years....

Note type in your state and you'll see plenty I assume. Not sure how often they update but I know it isn't 100% so there are more out there. Kim

Sharlene,
You sent me a message saying," here's the link to the IMS specialist" but there is no link on your message? Did you forget to attach the link?

:D Look above :D

I went to the link and it's not coming up with anything. I typed in the ZIP Codes for all of my surrounding area and there was nothing. I must be doing something wrong, because we have a lots of vets here!

Only type in your State, nothing else, see if that works :)

It worked! I found an IMS special specialist about 20 minutes from me in neighboring San Carlos. His name is James Bower and he's the director of the VCA Holly Street animal hospital. I visited their website. They have a coupon for a Free first pet exam. I may not get to see the specialist for free, but at least I would be able to check out the place! It's a win, win!! Yeah! :D:D::):). So now, I have a place to start. I am still doing Buddy's ACTH test tomorrow at his regular vet, but I will be checking out Dr. Bower very soon! Thank you all so much!

Hi Kathy,
You and Buddy both must be very tired...sounds like last night was not a great night of sleep for either of you.
I am glad to hear you could stay home with Buddy today so you could monitor him. Great news that today was free of tremors. :) I know it's still a worry though.
I hope everything goes smoothly at the vet tomorrow when Buddy has his test.
It's great you found an IMS nearby. Maybe this vet will be the magic ticket to get some answers on these tremors, and hopefully with reasonable fees.
Are you able to take the cone off of the little guy yet??
I hope you and Buddy will get some decent sleep tonight. Looking forward to some good results from the test! :)

p.s.
I searched through the old posts on this board and someone also recommended Dr. Hart at Vet. Specialty Hospital in San Diego for Cushings. This hospital gets really good reviews online. I imagine you already know about it though. Just wanted to mention in case you hadn't seen the post on this particular vet.
