Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Leslie, I am just about on my way to the airport but saw that you are in distress so wanted to let you know that everything will be fine. You and I suffer from loss of gray matter and I've given my dogs an extra dose on more than one occasion. As I recall, Squirts cortisol is high normal so you have a lot of cushion. If she was in the low end of normal, I might, I repeat, I might be concerned. Try to relax and enjoy your day with your babies. Squirt will be okay. Remember that Lysodren has a cumulative effect and if it was going to effect Squirt at all, it won't be today so quit staring at her. :p

In the unlikely event Squirt should show any adverse effects, the first thing you are likely to notice is a change in her eating so if her appetite is off tonight or tomorrow, give her a rescue dose of prednisone. My flight is only hour (10:15 to 11:15 pacific time) and you have my number if you need me.

Hugs,
Glynda

P.S. You don't have to be overly precise on cutting the pred pill. If she gets a little more, it won't hurt her.

Bless you bless you bless you....my mind just shuts down at times like this and I can't remember a thing I have learned in all these years! :o:o I am vibrating like crazy right now!

Tho I can promise you I will be staring at her continuously.....:o:rolleyes:

Love you so....please travel safe and have a BLAST!

Okay, Calm down, Glynda told me if I ended giving a little bit more pred to Zoe since her rescue dose was a weird amount too that it would most likely be okay so don't worry about the dose being exact when you cut up the pill.

I am home today except for a quick trip to rehab. Every time you start hyperventalating, just post something and tried to concentrate on your breathing.


It will be oaky, I know it will be okay. You just wont give her anything Sunday. It will be okay, Leslie.

I will go recheck the rescue dose. I saved the equation on my thread.

Love,
Addy

We are posting at the same time. Your gray matter caclulated the rescue dose perfectly:):):):)

Are you breathing?????????????

Love,
addy

Thanks, sweet Addy....I think gasping would be a better description :o:D but I'm not shaking as much as I was. Squirt is gonna be so sick of me by tomorrow! I keep touching her and leaning over to watch her breathing, touching her nose and belly, LISTENING to her belly....geez.....

If ya'll need me, I'll be in the loony bin for a bit!

As Glynda has said, I too believe Squirt will be fine. If you think that this dose is upsetting her tummy, what about giving her some slippery elm?

Sending soothing, calming, and loving hugs...Lori

gosh, that "slipped" my mind, too, Lori! :o Thank you! I'll get some made up right now!

Leslie - try to relax - easier said then done!!! :D we all know that!!! :) I gave Penny her pill one day in the AM and my husband gave it to her a few hrs after -- You told me just to have the pred on hand watch her and it should be fine but I could give her a pred just to be safe - which we did anyway and she was fine - she slept alot that day but she was good - we all do that - we forget everything!!!!! My excuse is Menopause and Chemo brain for me!!!!!! LOL Keep us posted!!

Leslie oh Leslie,


Everything okay? Are you having some Slippery Elm time?

Cha, cha, cha:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Just checking in on ya;)

love,
addy

LOL....yes, I am breathing, not gasping, now and only my head is bobbing around on it's stem instead of the whole body bouncing around! :p

Squirt is doing ok....no indication of problems....but she did run Brick out of his box so she could go in there to avoid my constant attentions. :D She did this right after giving her some SEB...like, "ok, you crazy broad, that is quite enough already!" :o:rolleyes: Queens only want attention when they want attention! :p

Now he's barking at her and she's trying to explain she needs the box more than him right now.

Still worried, of course, but am doing a bit better. Thank you all so very much. What would I do without my cush family????

Love and hugs,
Leslie and a fed-up Squirt
