Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Whoo hooo good news about Squirt! That IMS just sounds so informed. I love that. That is exactly why it is worth seeing one if your regular vet isn't as "informed" as they might think they are.
Have they tried the HMR with adrenal or pituitary cushings to see if it would help control the cortisol levels? I'm curious, every avenue just seems like it would be worth a look.
So happy you started the day off with good news. Two thumbs up! :cool:
Hugs,

Interesting about the lignans, Leslie. I have always wondered about the two different types and if they functioned exactly the same. I know the SDG lignans brought Zoe's intermediates down when she was on them, they just bothered her colitis a bit.
Sooooo glad we had a good news day for Squirt:D:D:D:D:D

Hi Leslie,
So good to read the wonderful news about Squirt! What a huge relief. Thanks so much for your good wishes for Jasper and my little Shelby. By the way, her nick name is Little Squirt. :) Glad to hear that Trinket did so well after her surgery this summer. Shelby is hanging in there. I think the biggest issue seems to be the e collar, for both her and Jasper. :p
I hope you and your gang are having a good weekend.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper (and Shelby)

Leslie,
WooHoo for good news!!! We are doing the Happy Dance in Texas for Squirt, aka The Queen....I love it!!
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Hi ya'll,
Squirt has a beard which drips after she drinks; Brick and Tasha both dribble after drinking; and Tank splashes so finding drops of water on the floors isn't unusual. Squirt will sometimes drool in her sleep and Trink does a lot of self-grooming at nite in bed so wet spots in the bed aren't usual. However, last nite I picked Squirt up to put her in the bed, she had been laying in the closet, and noticed her rear was wet. I checked where she was laying in the closet and there was a very tiny puddle with a dribble trail to the carpet. :( I didn't notice any odor when I checked and the color on the paper towel was light yellow so I don't think a UTI is in play, but could be wrong. So we have an appt tomorrow morning to get this looked into.
Will let you know what I learn!
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
PS...Her UTK results are here....somewhere, safely filed away where I can't find them.
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
I'm rooting for Squirt! My min-pin would do that in bed & on the sofa as she got older. The vet put her on a daily pill & it stopped. I was so happy to have her back on the bed with me at night.
I am sure that all of that is different when it comes to Cush pups. But, with Cleo the doctor told me dogs do that sometimes with age.
It sux getting old dog or human. :rolleyes:
Good luck little Squirt!
