Alivia was recently diagnosed with Cushing's - Alivia has passed

Cool news!:)

Hi Mary Beth-

I agree with two things: it sure is nice when there is a little break and things are going well! And, it is definitely a roller coaster!

I'm glad to hear Alivia is doing a little better, and even has pep in her step!

Hang in there!

I just read it was your birthday. Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a good one. Mine sneak up too quickly each year, lol.
Glad to hear Alivia is feeling better, too. :)

Thanks, Lauri! I had a wonderful day and my birthdays seem to come faster and faster, too!! :eek:

Alivia continues to do well! She was peppier today than she's been in quite awhile. I am thrilled to see her doing so well, but almost afraid to type this out loud! I don't want to jinx things!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Oh my, Mary Beth, I am so sorry that I missed your birthday.

Happy belated birthday!

I missed it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, I hate it when I do that!!!!!:o:o:o:o

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARY BETH

I am glad Alivia is feeling better.

Love,
Addy

Wow, Mary Beth! You snuck that one in on us! :D

Happy Birthday a few days late!

Hugs,

Hi Mary Beth,

I too missed your Birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!!:p:D:)

Just trying to get some stuff done with Ella always around is exhausting, but not really complaining. :p

If I was reading right you are holding off any meds to treat just yet--I would do the same. It was too far into the game of Cushings with Maddie so I had to do something. I would have started back in July '10 if I had know what it was....of course she didn't have anything else sickness wise going on to deal with. You are the best one to make the judgement call because you are always with her...;)

Happy Rest of the Week!!

Hi, everyone!!!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes - so nice of you all! I haven't been here for awhile so that was a nice surprise to see. Wish you could all join me in a glass of Chocovine! :)

Alivia is still on her antibiotics for the Pyoderma. It seems to be clearing up, but she lost patches of fur where it was most severe and she has little black discolorations - they aren't pimply-like, they are flat. Anyone know anything about that? Other than the residuals from the Pyoderma, she seems to be doing VERY well. She seems stronger and has more energy.

Her primary vet and I were talking about sceduling a LDDS test and deciding on a treatment course, when she got Pyoderma. So, that's delaying any testing and treatment decisions for now. I'm starting to wonder if someone is trying to tell me something....we were all set to begin treatment and I had even bought the Lysodren back in May, when she developed pancreatitis, delaying treatment then. :confused:
