Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

Oh Addy we all know what you are going through, i am sending loving and healing prayers to you both and just remember Zoe has pulled out of worse than this. She is a strong little dog and has a strong mama. Love, JoAnne

Thanks you all, I think it being the anniversary of her surgery and remembering how she was a year ago just got to me and then I came home from work and usually on Friday there would be a face at the door but there was none and I realized a face at the door will only be a memory now, for hubby had her in her safe spot, the bedroom.:(:(

She went to the groomers today and we used her sling and made a support for her (I thought of John) and I brought her mat and she had her nails cut and hair feet trimmed down for better traction, a sanitary cut and trimmed up the hair around her face as best we could with her muzzle on so it would not keep getting in her food. She handled that better than I thought she would. The sling worked great for support.

The only real change I see off the Vetoryl is that her tail is up more and not plastered down between her legs, the way it was since New Years Eve.

She sounds congested to me. We had asked about that in December and they said they did not hear anything in her lungs. I thnk the only reason she is drinking more water sometimes is because of the panting from standing and walking.

I will speak with her vet next week about starting the Metacam. I might just keep her off the Vetoryl now. I had planned on restimming her after two weeks but then she was on the pred for 8 days and I dont know if it is worth the stress she will have to go through to see her IMS for an acth test. I would rather try the Metacam first.

dear Addy
Wish I could reach over and give you a big hug. No advice, you have done so much ,you and Zoe have fought so hard. Just for today, Zoe is here, just for today you can hold her,just for today, her tail wags. I know only to well how it feels. But little miracles can happen. Love always.
hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

Happy Weekend Addy and Zoe, I seem to be getting later and later. Next I am going to be wishing you happy weekend on a Monday! I hope the Metacam helps her to feel a bit better, so sweet your hubby was sitting in her safe room with her when you got home.

Wow a year since her surgery, how is that area now? All healed or did I read something about bleeding? Hope all is well there. xxxxxx

Addy:
Thinking of you and Zoe. Hope you both have a good weekend together. Blessings

Hi Addy-we're off to the state Fair. I'll be on the lookout for the medicine man and any magical bottles of potion......;)
Love,
Sus

I hope the metacam helps her. Would be lovely for her to be able to be the face at the door some day again.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Hoping to hear you have all had another Tail-Up day! Hugs to you xxxx
