Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

NO SNOW EVER HERE! It has often been 85° at Christmas time.:D xxxx

Nice and cool here...last night they mentioned a Nor'easter would bring some snow here next week. Today they are backing off that report. Hope you get time to winterize your garden. Peonies are amazing flowers, I got married in June and we used tons of peonies (pink, white and fuschia) at the wedding (way back when).
Glad that Zoe's fur is growing so well that you need to trim for the snow! :p

I love peonies too and I have some breathing room- the snow is cancelled:D

Call me crazy but I am weaning Zoe off her metronidazole. I know I just got her stable and all with a good UPC but something is going on with my girl and that is the first place I am looking, rightly or wrongly. I have to pick my battles - so holding my breath, we have done one day on and one day off twice so far. If her liver is not good ( and we know there are suspicious spots on it) the metronidazole can build up in in the liver, the liver cant get rid of it as fast. So I dont want to cut the dose down daily but allow her to have days without so the toxins dont build up as much. At least this is my theory for now, from what I have read. I may be wrong but I wont know unless I try. If I'm wrong then at least I dont have to wonder and think about it anymore and I can move on.

They were wrong about her skin, her hair, her intemediate hormones, I think they are wrong about her legs too.

I'll let you know how I make out;)

TGIF and yes Sharlene, I wish Zoe could go with Molly for a spa day but I dont think she could handle it. We will have to do with my scissors job- she's a bit uneven but hey- no one will notice except Koko:D:D:D:D

Scientist/researcher Addy is at work again!:D You'll be able to publish your own book! Bailey likes the biscuits from the drive thru window at the bank...but they're too big for her, so I have to break them for her......they don't taste too bad.....:p

Hooray for more hair! I'm in favor of hair. 82 here today. It's going to be a rude awakening on Friday.

Enjoy your weekend!

Love,
Sus

You do what you think is right. Zoe is still here and it is because of your love and caring.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

Thanks dearest Sonja, I figure nothing ventured, nothing gained, if it does not work out, well then I know and I dont wonder anymore. Unless her ACTH test is going to give me a surprise I am not prepared for.:confused::confused:

Sus- break out the flannels, you will be cold come next weekend!!!

I'll go check your weather report for BB.:D:D:D:D

I just wanted to pop in and say hello to a sweet and missed friend. Well i miss everyone here altogether so hello family.

Dear Addy, hope Zoe, Koko, hubby and mom are feeling good. I think of you always.
Tightest hugs. Xo Jeanette

Hey Addy

I think that's a very sensible approach for Miss Zoe, if she can handle having it intermittently rather than daily, that's got to be better for her system. You know her so well you will be able to tell if isn't working

Love the fact she has grown so much hair she needs a mom haircut special :D

Hope your mom is doing ok and they have figured out the medication.

Hugs to you and kisses to the fur babies

Addy:
I know how you feel after researching these things and finding out the consequences of using them. I know you will weigh the options and do what is best for Zoe. She has such a wonderful mom to look after her. We are having 60 mile and hour wind gusts, it is really blowing hard here, and the temperature is dropping rapidly. Blessings
Patti

Hey Jeanette, how is my sweet friend? How is your family doing?

Mel - so good to hear from you, I am worrried about these tremors she is having, not just her legs, so thought I would start there.

Patti- we had those awful winds yesterday and Friday, the only good thing about them was they blew most of the leaves down:)

Happy Sunday!!!
