Lulu 11 y.o. Pom has gone over the Rainbow Bridge to meet Jojo

Also keeping everything crossed that whatever is going on with both Lulu and Jojo is easy to figure out and treat.

I'm sorry to hear about Lulu and Jojo, Glynda. Corky and I are also keeping everything crossed that it is only something minor and can be treated very easily.

Give them both hugs from me.

Hi Glynda,

I am sorry to hear about Lulu and Jojo. I was just going to ask you how Lulu's symptoms were since she has been on Lysodren. Hopefully it will be easy to fix.

I had been reading back through your thread because I thought Lulu was similar to my Zoe with high estradiol and other intermediates as well as cortisol. I keep wondering about high estradiol in our pups.

Hoping for good news!!!!

Hugs,
Addy

P.S. Loved the photos of you with Leslie, Trinket and Squirt!!!!

Hi Glynda,

I hope it is nothing major for Lulu and that we don't have to tack "Savales" onto her name! ;) If necessary, we can take up a collection for a tiny wig for Lulu. :D

It will be interesting to see their stims, as always! I hope the numbers are good and they are just bucking the rule book again. :p

Love ya!
Leslie and the girls :D - always

Hi Baby Doll,
Glad to get an update on the "fur butts". Was hoping for a good one on them, but I have deep faith in you, your knowledge and great heart and know they will be just fine. give them some rubs from me, will ya and take a tight hug for yourself. Will be keeping an eye for more updates. luv ya tons. Jeanette

I just got the last piece of news on the testing that was done on Jojo and Lulu from the IM. Cortisol has been creeping up for both and results are Jojo - Pre 2.6, post 4.3 and Lulu 4.5 and 5.0. They were stabilized in the mid 2's for a very long time so I can't complain...it was a good run. The IM wants to increase the actual mg capsule rather than increasing maintenance with an additional 60mg a week but I just refilled both prescriptions so the IM approved my idea of adding a fourth dose for Jojo for two weeks and a fourth dose for Lulu for three to four weeks and then stim again. If we accomplish our goal and we get the post stim down in the 2's and 3's, we'll get a new prescription for an increased dose. I'll let the IM decide how much is enough.

Lulu is still a mystery in more ways than one but the biggest mystery is the unexplained hair loss around her nose and mouth. The last time all the tests were negative and the hair grew back and this time is no different. The skin scrape was negative and I received the culture results today, also negative. Ha, most of the hair around her nose has already grown back in. Sure glad I spent that money. :D The top of her head, just below the crown, remains bald. This was my last ditch effort to try to figure out what in the heck is going on with her hair, or lack thereof. I officially throw in the towel after five years and have decided to take Dr. Bruyette's advice and buy her another sweater. :D She's still cute and Jojo is still a grumpy old peebucket.

Hi Glynda,

I hope the additional dosing works well and that their cortisol levels get back to where they were.

Lulu is still a little cutie, even if she never got her hair back. :)

Hi Glynda,

Zoe too has lost hair on her noseand the skin is coal black. If I look at pictures from a year ago I can really see the difference. She also is losing all her caramel colored spots. The are turning white.

Hope Lulu and Jojo get back in control. Lulu is cute without hair!!!
I checked out the Etsy sight and plan to order a couple sweaters too, so thank you for that lead.

Do you still have the pups on Primal?

Hugs,
Addy

Hi there Glynda,
Funny how I was thinking of you and Lulu today while I was at my IMS for Princess's stim and saw the cutest pomerenian being carried in my his mommy--4 months old. Princess looked like Godzilla next to him--lol. On another note, sorry to hear both your babies are having issues--yikes! How on earth do you find the energy to digest all this cushings business with both of them? I reckon the man upstairs created you with a bigger picture in mind--lol. Healing prayers going your way for some better results next time around, and here come some tight hugs as well. Luv ya darling, Jeanette and Princess

Casey lost the hair on her nose about two years ago - pre cushings diagnosis and grew it back a year later - weird.

Love and hugs,
