That has to be making you a nervous wreck as you do not want another dog scared like that. You know I read somewhere that it can be from there breeding too! It is not necessarily an episode of something that would scare them. I pray this does not continue as I know what you have been thru. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Tipper and Toby had a good day, not too much outside though as it is like 90
outside now. Tipper really can't even stay out longer than going potty or she really pants. Thank God for air conditioning or she would be really having a tough time. She has not been on her antihistamine for days and she is not making any congested noises, or swallowing all the time like she was. It had to be allergies, and whatever it was is not affecting her right now. That is one less pill I have to give her. Although she is eating the same amount of food every day she seems heavier this week, I need to get her weighed on Wednesday when she gets Adequan. I guess I am living in my bubble again, and praying we can go on like this forever. It is nice not having any appointments to run to for a few days.
We just did indoor things today and will have to be in most of next week as it willbe 90s and above,
Sonja thank you for checking in on my girl, I appreciate all the help you give me.
Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
We woke up to a slow steady rain. Tipper is fine with that, and even walked when it stopped for a while. So many mosquitoes out in this wet weather though, I am always looking down at my dogs to make sure there are none around them. At least we got one walk in even if it does rain all day. Just as I typed that the sun came peeking thru! Well I do an exam on these critters every week and found a small lump a little bigger than an eraser on Toby on top of his hind quarter. Tried to get a good look at it, but he is like a live wire constantly moving. I hope this is not going to start with him now!! I will have to get my vet to take a look at it and see what he thinks. Never a dull moment here. It is very hot and humid here so we may not be out the rest of the day. I will have to entertain Tipper inside. I spoke with Delora and no one has come to visit her for a week since her son went on vacation. All the grandchildren never showed up! Not surprising since they never came to her house in 7 years! I will take Toby tomorrow and go visit with her. I will have to have the dog sitter for Tipper, maybe I can get some shopping done quickly that I need to do also. I will have to bring Toby home and drop him off first. Tipper's eyes were good this morning no mucous so I am happy she can breathe easier and that gunk is not in her eyes. She is letting me trim her feet a little at a time if I hold her paw in my hand and promise her a treat, really a piece of her kibble! Hope everyone has a good Sunday with their babies. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Good morning Patti.
It is hot has heck here too. 94 yesterday, but no more rain. Thank goodness. Glad Tipper is doing so good.
I think it was more the fire works because Tanzee had to be forced to go outside yesterday to do her business. Then like clock work the crazy neighbor got the fire works out again last night. Fire works are ok, but these are commercial grade fire works. They can shake our house and he is three houses downs from us. A lady in the neighborhood walked over and asked him to stop because she has a 2 month old baby that is trying to sleep. He cussed her and as she turned to leave her lit another one. That's when Sammy blew a fuse. They got into it and told Sammy to come on in his yard and he's beat his a**. Sammy stood in the road and called him out where it would be "legal for them both", but the guy just stood in his yard and cussed Sammy. We don't live in the City limits, so the cops wouldn't even come out. We have a state trooper that lives behind us and a deputy sheriff that lives down the street and neither one would come say anything to this guy.
Well, enough of "my crazy life"!!! Have a good day.

Poor excuse for a neighbor. How awful when he is being told it is disturbing a baby. keep Sammy away from this nut case. You hear these wackos with guns on the news and since he is so cowardly standing in his yard cussing at people, I would not put something like this past him. Too bad the Sheriff did not step up and help when it was needed, that's how conflicts arise. You can only take so much. I would be crazy too if someone was doing something to my Tipper that was making her go into a panic. Those commercial fire works are only for licensed individuals, does he have a license to set them off. Maybe that is the way to stop him? Poor Tanzee and poor you it must be like a nightmare all over again with a dog in a panic state. I hope it stops and that you get better weather. This is no weather for dogs yet alone Cush dogs!!

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well my Tipper is in the closet. I kept watching the weather and finally l looked at the sky and got her meds in her I hope in time. It was about 20 minutes after I gave it to her the thunder and lightening started. it did not help that Toby started to bark again. She had a really good day, and kept bringing her ball to me and playing, so she just basically stayed in side away from the heat. I tried to get a good look at that lump on Toby's back side but could not really see anything. I swear it feels like the ones Tipper gets, I sure hope not. Tipper must have had 20 removed so far during the years if not more. With the 8-9 she has now that is a lot. She is really prone to them on her neck for some reason. It is thundering away so I am glad I gave Tipper the valium as I was not going to until I watched the weather and saw the storms coming at us. Hope everyone stays safe as I see some nasty weather in places. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
migraine last night, so no forum visits for me.
i never had a dog with lumps, so i don't know anything about it.
it is a pity that the storms are back after a few dry days.
still no rain over here.
dark, hot and humid, but no rain................
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well the meds did the job for Tipper last nite. The only thing with giving them is I noticed she gets a real dry mouth and will not take a drink. There is nothing else I can do. This allows her to remain calm and that is all I wanted. This morning it is dark and foggy, sort of looks like London. We already walked and the bugs that are out make it miserable. They were biting my legs as I had shorts on, I could wear long pants, but I would be dying the whole time from the heat. In the early part of winter I still wear shorts. Just don't like to wear jeans all the time. Toby kept barking at the thunder rumbling last nite as Tipper was sleeping on the bed, until he started. I am caught up on most of my stuff so today is a rest day as this arthritis is in full swing. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
I am so glad the meds help Tipper It is awesome really. We had horrible thunder and lightening in the middle of the night but no rain. I imagine we will have the same bugs as we finally had 85 degrees, it has been only in the high 60's. Everything here is so flooded, breeding ground for mosquitos.:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Hope you all have a wonderful day chasing bubbles:):):)
