I just want to give you a big big big hug. I know you will share what you are thinking in your own time and I understand not wanting to write it out
Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you all and hope so much that all goes ok with your appointment Thursday.

Zoe knows how much she is dearly loved Addy. That's all that will ever matter. Xxxxxx
I second that, she knows. They always know.
I'm still here, still fluttering around, still ready to give a hug or a hand squeeze or make a smore. Meanwhile I think I'll just rest for a minute over here on your good shoulder. Just for a minute. :)
Love,
Sus
Hi sweet
Checking in on your guys, hope you get the answers you wish for on Thursday Addy. So Friday my time and Friday is our day!! xxxx
I wanted to put a pic in here for you but I cannot! it is in my album!
Addy: I am thinking of you and sending healing thoughts to you and Zoe. She is such a strong little dog and always comes through everything. Hang in there for a little longer and I am sure they will find out what is wrong. Love, JoAnne
Her breathing is so labored when she tries to walk. She will be sleeping and then wakes up panting, she has been doing that since New Years Eve. I help her up and she turns, lays down and the panting stops. Her back leg sticks out straight, I have videos of it. It is either injured or is psuedomyetonia. Her right bad leg that they xrayed has to do so much extra work.
She started getting lethargic at the end of October when her cortisol shot down. I am worried I made things worse by lowering her Vetoryl dose. She seemed better for a bit last week but then got so sedated, I had to cut back the Tramadol. The ER vet only wanted me to give her 1/4 tab BID I had given her 1/2 tab at night and 1/4 during the day. But now she has been on the lower dose of Vetoryl longer so I dont know if that is making things worse. It would appear on the surface her cortisol is higher, she is going to the water bowl more often but not gulping huge amounts of water, she is peeing often, every time she gets up, she has to pee. She will hold it all night but then as soon as she gets up, she has to pee, she cant wait to be taken outside. Her bad eye got worse on the higher dose of Tramadol, it was very red, t seems better now. The mucus stool has stopped but it is still fairly green. IF I walk past her when she is eating, she is not looking up and around and dropping food all over.
She is more alert while she is laying down than she was on the 20/10 dose, but she was on that such a short time, it is hard to say.
We will see what this doctor says and then I will take her to IMS to run her bloods and stim.
I am very worried something else is going on here.
She will get up to do a mini bark fest for her meals but last week she could stand for almost an hour and walk to the bedroom, this week she cant stand for more than 30 minutes and wants me to carry her everywhere.
At Christmas, my dog could walk around the house. Now she cant do much of anything.
At every crisis, we have pulled her through. Hubby doesn't think we can pull it off again. Sorry, no sleep makes me a wreck.:o:o:o
Addy:
I really and truly know what you are going thru. When you love a dog so deeply this is the most heartbreaking and worrisome thing you can go thru. When your baby is off, your whole world is upside down. You have pulled Zoe thru everything so far. She is a tough little girl, so you can do it again Addy I know you can. I can never get my hands on that magic wand when someone is in dire need of it. God Bless you both Addy I am praying you can get Zoe past this.

Dear Addy
Wish I could reach over to give you a hug? Maybe an ultra sound may reveal more. Zoe's leg may be locking up. Apollo's hind leg would lock up at the knee because of the muscle wasting. I wish I could wave a magic wand for you both? Not only are you dealing with your own health issues and recovery,but feeling helpless as to helping Zoe.
We are here for you.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
By your side, Addy, right by your side.
