Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
Hi,
I was reading over my posts and was wondering how Borris was doing taking the Trilo. Looks like it has been about 6 weeks since he started.

LOL L.A. is all about the traffic on a roadtrip. I have family living there. Me, I'm in Canada, Ontario actually.
It depends on what meds you are looking at using. For Trilostane (Vetroyl) you retest after the first 12-14 days, retest after 30 days and then if all is well and Bondo is stable, you would retest at 30 days. I'm not sure what the testing schedule is with Lysoderm. I'm sure someone here knows though.

Well, tomorrow is the big day. We will be getting an ultra sound done on Bondo.....He has a few more of the sores on his neck but really does seem to have good days....I do realize that without the meds this disease will take its toll so even, tho, he seems better I will do anything to prolong his life.....When he looks up at me with those big brown eyes....."like, it is ok, Mom..we will get through this together" I know we will.
Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
awwww, hopefully the ultrasound will show good news. It's always best to know though. I was a nervous nilly before molly had her ultrasound. I'm glad I did it though and will probably end up having another one at some point.
You Will get through this together. :) Bondo is Right.
hugs,
Sharlene

Sharlene......not sure where you live but my "road trip" is on the freeway (parking lots) of Los Angeles. ha ha. All in all, we are anxiously awaiting the finding of the ultra sound so what is a little traffic thrown in? Now, even ONE more question...if the meds are the best way to go what is the ACTH test and how often will Bondo have to do blood work after staring on the meds. Good night to all and sweet dreams.
Anni(ston)'s was apparently a very stubborn pitutiary.

Hello! have been following along, my min pin had an adrenalectomy year ago this November. She is 9. Tumor was found with u/s. If i can answer questions at all, I will gladly. I will tell you...........the angels here will help you with each step and you will not be walking this journey with your baby alone. I could have never found the strength without them.
Re: 11 year old Doxie with tumor on Adrenal
The alarm is all set and I should really be getting some sleep but had to check with all of you. THANK YOU all for the words of encouragement but I, still, cry as I type this. I will post after we get home. It is a 200 mile round trip but the hospital we are going to is one of the best.

Hi Trese,
Your car is FULL of folks who are right by your side today. We go with you with our arms wrapped around both you and Bondo. But watch out...some folks here are a bit rowdy and loud, ya know? :D Not me, tho, nooo not me. :p
Travel safe and let us hear from you when you can.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
