Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

Hi Guys,

He said it is not arthritis. I did read that a trauma soft tissue injury could then cause bone inflammation as Sharlene mentioned or a bacteria infection could as well or cancer. I have not found a lot on the condition, maybe becuase I dont want to know.:(:(

My car's check engine light came on and it is -16 so have to try to get it to a mechanic.

It just seems each week that goes by she gets worse. I keep blaming myself for this, I should have left her on the 20/10 but I did not understand why she was so lethargic or what was happening to her so vet thought lets lower the dose if she seems better. Now she is more alert, but the walking is a disaster.

Gott a run- hubby has to drive me to work.

Hi Addy:
I just wanted to let you know Tipper and I are praying things come out well for Zoe. Blessings

Hi Addy-
Placing blame anywhere is wasted energy. You have ALWAYS done what your gut led you to do and it has always worked out for the best. To try and second guess yourself will drive you crazy. Know that you made your best decisions based on what information was available to you at the time. I understand how you feel and I understand why you are so very worried. I know how you feel. It's an awful place to be. Your troop of angels surround you and Zoe and the prayers continue. Try not to look back. Just try to appreciate what is here and now. I am right on your shoulder.
Love,
Sus

Oh Sweetie,
It is human nature to second guess ourselves. I did it with Buddy and still look back and wonder what I could have done different. Would it have made any difference? Know in your heart that your sweet girl has been blessed with the best mom ever who always had Zoe's best interests first and foremost in her mind and heart. We all do the best we can. Zoe loves you for that. xxxxxx

Addy,

Zoe knows that you love her and are doing all that you can, they really do know.

I hope for a breakthrough soon!

Addy:
Praying all works out like it is supposed to. I am hoping Zoe once again turns the corner and feels better. Blessings

Addy, You are not to blame at all. You guys are doing everything right! There's no evidence that this has anything to do with Cushings anyway. I'm sorry what's ailing her remains a mystery, at least if you knew what you were dealing with it might be easier to figure stuff out.
Really glad that you all got some sleep though, yay for that!
Hoping that somehow things will improve...that Zoe keeps showing her alertness and that she won't be in terrible pain, in any pain for that matter. Thinking of you and hoping for the best!

Dear Addy, you are not to blame for anything. Zoe is here because you never gave up,fought for her. We know with Cushings, you never know what is in its bag of tricks. You just do the best you can.You adjust medications, add,subtract others,adapt. IT usual isn't the Cushing that will get,but something else, which too often with a weaken immune system can not be fought. But just for today Zoe is here.

A lot of us blame ourselves when things go wrong with our pups, so that is pretty standard around here... I have heard you many a time telling members it is not their fault Missy! The crux of the matter is that we cannot know everything and we have to deal with the hand we are dealt with and it's about time you got a straight royal flush!!

And what's up with the blardy car, man that's it... January is off the calendar.... permanently!

Hope Zoe is doing OK Addy, big hugs to you all xxxxxx

Well lets see, January is off the calendar, I'm pretty sure November was nixed from the calendar already. Does that mean winter will be shorter? hmmm

Addy, I hope that you are surviving this awful cold spell. I saw it was really bad in your neck of the woods. :( Do take care, no more spills and just clear a spot as close to the house as possible for Zoe and Koko's potty breaks.
I tried to get molly to go on the snow on the deck, but she absolutely refused and I have to carry her for now too back and forth, so man, that kills your back. So, be careful!

hugs
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
