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

Thanks, Addy! They both enjoyed the birthday cake. I tried to get them to just dig in, but neither would touch it until I cut them pieces! They are so polite sometimes! ;) I posted pictures.

Alivia saw the dermatologist today!!!!! :D:D:D:D
ALL GOOD NEWS! The pyoderma is resolved. The black freckles are age spots. :o Her fur is growing back. Her blood work is just about.....NORMAL!! Her liver enzymes are NORMAL, NORMAL, NORMAL! The vet said Cushing's doesn't get better (we all know that) but that she could not see any sign of it. She wondered out loud if there was something like a UTI that screwed up her previous cortisol test results. She said Alivia looks great! She has her itchy butt seasonal allergies that she seems to get every August, but that is all! She even thinks that they Pyoderma was related to the seasonal allergies and nothing else! I was going to have a consultation with Dr. Peterson and she felt that would be a waste of money because she is doing so well!

Alivia HAD Cushing's. She had all of the symptoms, including the pot belly and the blood test results that supported it, too. Now she has NONE of the symptoms, no pot belly and her blood work is close to perfect. Any explanations, anyone??? It seems like Alivia has once again done the medically impossible!!!

I AM HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!!!

Mary Beth, you and Ali so deserve a break and you certainly got one today!!!!!!!

HAPPY DAY FOR HAPPY NEWS ON MAXWELL'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!


I am jumping for joy with you:D:D:D:D:D

Thanks, Addy!

I am THRILLED! I knew she seemed better and looks better, but it is wonderful that her blood work is so good and to hear a vet say it! And, to say that she looks "great". It is the wierdest thing - she had the cushing's pot belly for quite awhile and now it's GONE! My little miracle dog!

:D:D Woohoo!!!

Way to go, Alivia and Mary Beth!!! :D:D

Thanks, Julie. There's no explanation for it but I'm not complaining!!!!:D

Wow!! Awesome news!! She is one heck of a fighter that Alivia. I am thrilled to hear of another miracle. :D
The birthday cake looked amazing - I think I would have eaten a piece myself! I bet Maxwell and Alivia were wanting to eat the whole thing.
Enjoy and celebrate all weekend long!

Hi Mary Beth, Alivia and Maxwell,

Just checking in with you as I watched the news yesterday and they were showing film about the floods in your neck of the woods.

Hope you are all okay.

Love,
Addy

I saw that, too, Mary Beth. On the news here last nite they showed a car being paddled down what I assume was a road!

Please let us know you and yours are alright.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
