Addy:
Just know I support you. I think you need to keep pushing until Zoe says no more mom. That is a good plan, as I know you need to keep trying to help her, you are like me you will go on not matter what ,as long as it benefits Zoe. I can find no fault in that, but find a lot of strength in it. You have done wonders with Zoe and I do believe in you that you will help her again. Blessings

Thank you all, dont know we have the resources left to unturn every stone, hubby may be losing his job at the end of the month. His income from that job has paid to keep Zoe going. We wll do the best we can.
I am trying to understand the difference between pysudeomyotonia and degenerative myeopathy. I understand denerative myeopathy can get bad quickly but when I look at the pictures, her legs are not like that. Her back leg was not doing this at Christmas. So she has an issue with her back leg which is related probably to her Cushings and an issue with her front leg which is not related to her Cushings.
So by allowing her cortsol to run higher may help her front leg but at what cost to her back leg?
Her stool is better now on the increased metronidazole.
Hubby does not want to see her suffer and cotinue being poked and prodded and stressed, she was so bad the last visit, we have never seen her like that in all these years.
It is hard for us because we continue to try to put drops in and it is getting harder and harder to administer them. So we keep getting more and more stressed and the weather doesnt help.
This week she seems weaker and not able to stand as long as last week so I dont know if it is because I cut back the Tramadol or becuase her cortisol is higher.
I think her bark is weaker becuase she gets very tired standing on her feet and when she tries to do hop, hop bark, t s too much for her.
We will see what happens today but look what I went through April after 3 different vet consultations.
And after all is said and done, we have to remember her last ultra sound. Problems with her liver, her spleen, chronic pancreatitis, etc.
She was doing well until her cortisol dropped down. I thought if I could let it run about post 5 ug/dl like last August, she felt good then. But perhaps it has nothing to do with lower cortisol.
I have to go to work this morning, problems there so have to work half day. My shoulder and no sleep exhausts me. My energy level is pretty low.
I have not been repsonding much to your threads, I do read them, I just am so tired, it is hard to write.
Love you all, sorry for the typos:o
Addy don't worry about the threads . We got it and we all pitch in and help out each other.
You take care of you and Zoe and hubs. I'm sure he is just as stressed over Zoe as you are and he is probably worrying about you too and his job. Hopefully he won't be losing it or can find something else.
Will be thinking of all of you!
hugs and love

I don't post on your thread but please know I am following it everyday.
Fingers crossed for you and Zoe today
Addy,
So sorry for all the terrible distress you are all going through. I think most of us would feel the same as you and want to know what's going on with Zoe. Christmas does not seem that long off and she was doing so well/
Just hoping today goes well and that you get some answers. So many worries all at once...seems that's always how it goes. Keeping Zoe in my thoughts and hoping the very best for her.

She just threw up her snack. My dog never throws up.
Hugs, best wishes and love,
Sus
Oh dear, did she eat too fast? wondering if cortisol is going up, or ...tummy/gastro issues? She doesn't throw up when she has an IBD flare up?
Hang in there Addy. I am hoping that some answers will come your way today.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Dear Addy
It could be intestinal, or just an upset stomach. As we all know Cushing babies have very sensitive digestive tracts. Remember using slippery elm for upset stomach. I would have to look up the instructions. but don't go there yet. I also read a new member's , Barb's baby was diagnosed at 10 years old and lived to be 16. THE medication was selegline(L-Deprenyl) for know don't go there with your thoughts. Zoe is still here. If she continues to throw up, see the vet. we are here for you
LOve and prayers Sonja and Angel Apollo
Zoe does not throw up.
I can count on one hand how many times she has thrown up in the last seven years, even when her IBD was really bad, she did not throw up.
Maybe I should have them check her electrolytes while she is there.
I have a call in to IMS as well.
