Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Patti, you had asked me some questions. See Scoop's thread.
Hope you and Tipper are having a good day.
Prayers and big hugs.

Jeepers, what a pain in the butt all this to-ing and fro-ing is for you guys. I would be taking my dog back if these alarming symptoms remained and demand they do something NOW. I am also wondering if a CT/MRI would be the way to go, at least you would get some answers and know what you are dealing with. I can see their point in getting an IMS to do the scope, they need to work out the diagnosis before jumping into any potential surgery. If surgery is required it needs to be planned appropriately and any other medical conditions stablised so it is safe for Tipper. Sometimes all this uncertainty just messes with your head. You need to be able to plan for the future and keep it as calm as possible so Tipper (and you) are not any more stressed than need be. I hope Tipper's breating is settled down and you are getting some rest to fight whatever lies ahead.

Hi everyone:
I am just trying to figure all this stuff out with Tipper. She was not as bad last night , but still labored breathing and mucus or something in the throat. She keep trying to clear her throat, and sticks her tongue out real far. She moves around the bed every few minutes/seconds as she is trying to breathe better. It keeps her and me awake most of the night. I am just exhausted from all this, as I am sure she is also .I get up every morning no matter how I feel knowing she needs me. I am hoping, and praying that whatever they find is not something that cannot be treated easily. The mountain is starting to get higher to climb. Since this started with her all my savings have gone out the window for testing, treatments etc. I am sure everyone on here knows the feeling.I am scared if she needs an operation how I will fund it at this point. It will cost 3000.00 for all the procedures, and MRI on the 11th alone. I am also scared that an MRI will tell if she has a macro, and I swear I could not handle that now, I will just crumble to pieces. I've never really wanted to know how long she has left as that would just kill me. I so much appreciate all of you checking on her all the time. God Bless Us ALl and all our babies.

I draw my strength from all of you, and your kind support of my precious girl. You know I went thru this with my father watching him succomb to cancer day by day. This ranks right up there with that. In fact it brings those haunting memories back to me every day I deal with this. This dog is my world, and I am desperately clinging on to any hope that I can keep her going. I pray every night for all of us on this forum, we need a miracle from God for all these suffering babies, and for our own sanity. Who knows Easter is coming and I still believe in miracles. I hope all of you have a great Easter. I will be home with my girl spending time with her. God Bless Us ALL and all the babies we care for.

Oh Patti, I do know what you mean and I am sorry it is so hard for you and Tipper right now.

(((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi Patti, thinking of you and Tipper this weekend. Hopefully they can figure out what is going on. I hate this disease too. The toll it takes in so many ways is just awful. I hope that Tipper can find a comfy rest spot tonight that allows her to breath okay.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene and Mel:
Wishing you both a Happy Easter and may all of us experience a miracle form God. I know I could sure use one about now. God Bless You Both.
