new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

thanks for all the tips! i don't know if there is a liquid form in nl.
i can only do this when it is really without a taste and without a smell.
he is such a picky eater.
and for lori, is sampson getting the liquid one?
i still have a supply of vetoryl for about a year, so buying new stuff is not really an option.
we do have cold nights right now and sunny during daytime.
i wish your weather would be the same.
i have made all the back ups, but my pc does not have enough mb memory to make w 7 work properly i read on the internet.
i also ordered a vista dvd. they are only 10 euro each on nerd forums.
now i have to find out which one to use.
sleep well everybody.......

I know cost is really an issue as this stuff is all so expensive that I don't buy anything for myself, and it all goes to Tipper. I hope you are able to get your computer updated without a huge cost. I worry if I had a major expense with Tipper being sick, how I would handle it. This has exhausted all my saving and then some. Every once and a while my vet will let me pay later if I have had a lot of bills with her. I am hoping you can find out how Ian is getting theese pills out, and fix the problem without having to buy more Vetoryl. It is real dark and we are ready for rain, then snow on Sunday!! Blessings

ian is doing fine, so missing a pill every now and then does not affect him obviously.
i scan the floor every day around his bed for pills on hand and knees.............
i took "'the risk"' today to walk around a small lake which we had not done since last fall -as a sort of test- and he did fine!
he remains a bit stiff since being on vetoryl, but he is getting stronger everyday. we walked for an hour and a half.
not as fast as we used to, but i am happy with this results.
i hope tipper will be stable soon and you can save some money......

An hour and a half walk for a dog with cushings on medication is very good.
Glad you were able to get out and about around the lake and that Ian is still able to do that walk and enjoy it.

That's a very long walk! Congratulations!

ian was in great shape before "'the cushing collaps"'
that made him recover this quick i quess.
and the fact that he has no other illnesses or meds.
only a low dose of 30 mg vetoryl [2mg/kilo] and 1 [1500mg] omega 3 pill. so far, so good!

Tipper was in great shape before the Cushing's too, but it has taken it's toll on her muscles, and insides. I think she is as good as she is today from being in good shape before all this. Her breathing and tremors still continue to concern me. I have been able to put out many fires started by Cushing's, but these two have me stumped as to what will help. We have really bad wind today and are expecting snow Sunday. Sounds like you are getting some crazy weather over there too. I think that is good Ian can go without meds every once and a while, as I feel that the Vetoryl is causing Tipper's tremors, but I am just not sure how. Blessings

ian had tremors a few weeks long before he collapsed. i just thought he had some muscle weakness because of old age.
after the vetoryl they stopped immediately. the opposit of tipper.
ian's outlooks have changed also muscle wise.
hope the rain and storm have stopped so you can catch up with some sleep tonight.

Isn't that strange about the tremors?? I would like to unlock that mystery. It is still warm and Tipper will be able to walk. She has been sleeping more than usual the last two days and it has me thinking about why. It seems when you have a cush dog you question everything they do. I am glad Ian can do well missing some pills as I wish Tipper could. She needs this Vetoryl, but I know it is causing these tremors, and wish I could decrease it, but her cortisol shoots up too high. I have been taking it easy the last couple days, because I am gearing up for my spring cleaning. I don't know if I can do it this year but I'll give it a try. Blessings

ian does not like those high temperatures we already have. 22C today.
it does affect him. so into the forest or along the riverside it is.
next week it will be summer..........too soon for me.
i will send it your way! you could use it!
it is 5.25 am so i have to try to get some sleep.
