Hi Everyone:
Gave Tipper 1/4 Pepcid AC last night. She seemed to do better during the night. She slept ok, and nothing eventful happened. I gave her another 1/4 tablet this morning, so we have had no reflux episodes so far the last 2 days. I went to take her out on the front porch today which she loves, it is gated and she can run free. She was acting all kind of paranoid and did not even want to stay out for more than a minute. That is very unlike her. I noticed the pacing, paranoia, and strange behavior start again when I started her back on the Vetoryl. I hope this stops as that is where I spend time with her in the summer, and I so want her to enjoy herself. The wind is just starting up so we are in for a storm this afternoon. That will completely ruin her day. After talking to Dechra I am not going to put her on the 20 and 30 mg on alternative days until after her procedure. Dechra said if she does fine on the days with 20 and no symptoms return maybe she can go back down to 20 permanently. We'll see after the hospital stuff is over with. Hope everyone has a good day. Blessings

Patti,
Tipper might be sensing that another storm is coming. Could be why she's acting strange of late.
Happy that the Pepcid is working for her!!!
Valerie:
I think you are right. She is so worried about the weather she soes nothing but sit there and listen to the wind. I saw this paranoid behavior when she first started on the Vetoryl in August. It kind of went away for the most part. Now it is back with a vengence so I know it is realated to the meds, and the weather is just adding to it. Hope this does not ruin the whole night for her. How is Daisy doing today? Hope all is well. Blessings

Those storms need to blow away, scaring you little girl is not good
Hope you both have a better afternoon
Big hug, kiss for Tipper

Hi Mel:
Well, here we go again this morning. Very gusty winds and the sky is black, so anytime now Tipper will be in the closet trembling. If it would just not thunder she would be able to handle it, but the thunder is what really pushes her over the edge. I gave her 1/4 Pepcid Ac last night and first thing this morning. She had 2 episodes of reflux this morning. I try to give her a small amount of coconut oil after it happens to sooth her throat. I will be glad to get a solution to this form IMS as I know her throat probably feels awful. Thank you for checking on my girl, I am getting more anxiety about her IMS appointment as it gets closer to the date. Blessings

I hope you and Tipper gets some rest with all the storms, when Sim is scared I sometimes put his vest on, seems to help for some reason...it's so hard to know what to do for your scared pup..take care of you too and Sim told me to tell u to tell Tipper thats its ok, God is moving the doghouses in Heaven, and thats where the noise is coming from :)
Hi,
Buddy is terrified of thunder also! I have what is called a "thunder shirt" for him. It wraps snugly around him and is soothing. They can be purchased online and are available in some pet stores. Taking him in the bathroom with the fan on, and sitting quietly until the thunderstorm ends works for Buddy. He is able to calm down within 10 or 15 minutes once he can no longer hear the thunder. :)

Moving dog houses in Heaven...that is adorable :)
Patti, this is crazy weather! Would Tipper be more comfortable in bed with you? Poor baby. I'm fortunate that not much scares Daisy.
She's still doing really well! Does the fur fall out before the newer, healthier coat comes in? She seems to be losing a little more fur, but there are no other signs of skin infection.
Thinking of you both.
Hope you got some sleep and that you managed to get her out of the closet for some of the night
How are you doing? Have your symptoms calmed down yet?
We will all be with you in spirit for the IMS visit.
Big hug to you and a kiss for your girlie
